# Chapter 17
|
|
1. "My spirit is broken,
|
|
My days are extinguished,
|
|
The grave is ready for me.
|
|
|
|
2. Are not mockers with me?
|
|
And does not my eye dwell on their provocation?
|
|
|
|
3. "Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself.
|
|
Who is he who will shake hands with me?
|
|
|
|
4. For You have hidden their heart from understanding;
|
|
Therefore You will not exalt them.
|
|
|
|
5. He who speaks flattery to his friends,
|
|
Even the eyes of his children will fail.
|
|
|
|
6. "But He has made me a byword of the people,
|
|
And I have become one in whose face men spit.
|
|
|
|
7. My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow,
|
|
And all my members are like shadows.
|
|
|
|
8. Upright men are astonished at this,
|
|
And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.
|
|
|
|
9. Yet the righteous will hold to his way,
|
|
And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.
|
|
|
|
10. "But please, come back again, all of you,
|
|
For I shall not 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 near,' they say, in the face of darkness.
|
|
|
|
13. If I wait for the grave as my house,
|
|
If I make my bed in the darkness,
|
|
|
|
14. If I say to corruption, 'You are my father,'
|
|
And to the worm, 'You are my mother and my sister,'
|
|
|
|
15. Where then is my hope?
|
|
As for my hope, who can see it?
|
|
|
|
16. Will they go down to the gates of Sheol?
|
|
Shall we have rest together in the dust?"
