| 1 |
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves [are ready] for me. |
| 2 |
[Are there] not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation? |
| 3 |
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who [is] he [that] will strike hands with me? |
| 4 |
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt [them]. |
| 5 |
He that speaketh flattery to [his] friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. |
| 6 |
He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. |
| 7 |
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members [are] as a shadow. |
| 8 |
Upright [men] shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. |
| 9 |
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. |
| 10 |
But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot 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] short because of darkness. |
| 13 |
If I wait, the grave [is] mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. |
| 14 |
I have said to corruption, Thou [art] my father: to the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister. |
| 15 |
And where [is] now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? |
| 16 |
They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when [our] rest together [is] in the dust. |
