Chapter 17

1


 

  My spirit hath been destroyed, My days extinguished -- graves [are] for me.  

 

 

--

2


 

  If not -- mockeries [are] with me. And in their provocations mine eye lodgeth.  

 

 

--

3


 

  Place, I pray Thee, my pledge with Thee; Who is he that striketh hand with me?  

 

 

--

4


 

  For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding, Therefore Thou dost not exalt them.  

 

 

--

5


 

  For a portion he sheweth friendship, And the eyes of his sons are consumed.  

 

 

--

6


 

  And he set me up for a proverb of the peoples, And a wonder before them I am.  

 

 

--

7


 

  And dim from sorrow is mine eye, And my members as a shadow all of them.  

 

 

--

8


 

  Astonished are the upright at this, And the innocent against the profane Stirreth himself up.  

 

 

--

9


 

  And the righteous layeth hold [on] his way, And the clean of hands addeth strength, And -- dumb are they all.  

 

 

--

10


 

  Return, and come in, I pray you, And I find not among you a wise man.  

 

 

--

11


 

  My days have passed by, My devices have been broken off, The possessions of my heart!  

 

 

--

12


 

  Night for day they appoint, Light [is] near because of darkness.  

 

 

--

13


 

  If I wait -- Sheol [is] my house, In darkness I have spread out my couch.  

 

 

--

14


 

  To corruption I have called: -- 'Thou [art] my father.' 'My mother' and 'my sister' -- to the worm.  

 

 

--

15


 

  And where [is] now my hope? Yea, my hope, who doth behold it?  

 

 

--

16


 

  [To] the parts of Sheol ye go down, If together on the dust we may rest.  

 

 

--
