Chapter 17

1


 

  My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.  

 

 

--

2


 

  Are there not mockers with me? and doth not my eye continue in their provocation?  

 

 

--

3


 

  Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?  

 

 

--

4


 

  For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.  

 

 

--

5


 

  He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.  

 

 

--

6


 

  He hath made me also a by-word of the people; and in former time I was as a tabret.  

 

 

--

7


 

  My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shade.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.  

 

 

--

9


 

  The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.  

 

 

--

10


 

  But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.  

 

 

--

11


 

  My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.  

 

 

--

12


 

  They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.  

 

 

--

13


 

  If I wait, the grave is my house: I have made my bed in the darkness.  

 

 

--

14


 

  I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.  

 

 

--

15


 

  And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who will see it?  

 

 

--

16


 

  They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.  

 

 

--
