Job 17
1
“My spirit is consumed.
2
Surely there are mockers with me.
3
“Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself.
4
For you have hidden their heart from understanding,
5
He who denounces his friends for plunder,
6
“But he has made me a byword of the people.
7
My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow.
8
Upright men will be astonished at this.
9
Yet the righteous will hold to his way.
10
But as for you all, come back.
11
My days are past.
12
They change the night into day,
13
If I look for Sheol as my house,
14
if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’
15
where then is my hope?
16
Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol,
