1.4 KiB
Job Continues: Where Then Is My Hope?
Chapter 17
-
"My spirit is broken; my days are extinct; the graveyard is ready for me.
-
Surely there are mockers about me, and my eye dwells on their provocation.
-
"Lay down a pledge for me with you; who is there who will put up security for me?
-
Since you have closed their hearts to understanding, therefore you will not let them triumph.
-
He who informs against his friends to get a share of their property-- the eyes of his children will fail.
-
"He has made me a byword of the peoples, and I am one before whom men spit.
-
My eye has grown dim from vexation, and all my members are like a shadow.
-
The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent stirs himself up against the godless.
-
Yet the righteous holds to his way, and he who has clean hands grows stronger and stronger.
-
But you, come on again, all of you, and I shall not find a wise man among you.
-
My days are past; my plans are broken off, the desires of my heart.
-
They make night into day: 'The light,' they say, 'is near to the darkness.'
-
If I hope for Sheol as my house, if I make my bed in darkness,
-
if I say to the pit, 'You are my father,' and to the worm, 'My mother,' or 'My sister,'
-
where then is my hope? Who will see my hope?
-
Will it go down to the bars of Sheol? Shall we descend together into the dust?"
