Jó 17

1 My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct,

2 Surely there are mockers with me,

3 Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself;

4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding:

5 He that denounceth his friends for a prey,

6 But he hath made me a byword of the people;

7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow,

8 Upright men shall be astonished at this,

9 Yet shall the righteous hold on his way,

10 But as for you all, come on now again;

11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off,

12 They change the night into day:

13 If I look for Sheol as my house;

14 If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father;

15 Where then is my hope?

16 It shall go down to the bars of Sheol,
