Job Continues to Defend His Innocence
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 17
|
|
1. "My spirit is crushed,
|
|
and my life is nearly snuffed out.
|
|
The grave is ready to receive me.
|
|
|
|
2. I am surrounded by mockers.
|
|
I watch how bitterly they taunt me.
|
|
|
|
3. "You must defend my innocence, O God,
|
|
since no one else will stand up for me.
|
|
|
|
4. You have closed their minds to understanding,
|
|
but do not let them triumph.
|
|
|
|
5. They betray their friends for their own advantage,
|
|
so let their children faint with hunger.
|
|
|
|
6. "God has made a mockery of me among the people;
|
|
they spit in my face.
|
|
|
|
7. My eyes are swollen with weeping,
|
|
and I am but a shadow of my former self.
|
|
|
|
8. The virtuous are horrified when they see me.
|
|
The innocent rise up against the ungodly.
|
|
|
|
9. The righteous keep moving forward,
|
|
and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger.
|
|
|
|
10. "As for all of you, come back with a better argument,
|
|
though I still won't find a wise man among you.
|
|
|
|
11. My days are over.
|
|
My hopes have disappeared.
|
|
My heart's desires are broken.
|
|
|
|
12. These men say that night is day;
|
|
they claim that the darkness is light.
|
|
|
|
13. What if I go to the grave
|
|
and make my bed in darkness?
|
|
|
|
14. What if I call the grave my father,
|
|
and the maggot my mother or my sister?
|
|
|
|
15. Where then is my hope?
|
|
Can anyone find it?
|
|
|
|
16. No, my hope will go down with me to the grave.
|
|
We will rest together in the dust!"
