nkjv@Job:17:1 @ "My spirit is broken, My days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.

nkjv@Job:17:2 @ Are not mockers with me? And does not my eye dwell on their provocation?

nkjv@Job:17:3 @ "Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself. Who is he who will shake hands with me?

nkjv@Job:17:4 @ For You have hidden their heart from understanding; Therefore You will not exalt them.

nkjv@Job:17:5 @ He who speaks flattery to his friends, Even the eyes of his children will fail.

nkjv@Job:17:6 @ "But He has made me a byword of the people, And I have become one in whose face men spit.

nkjv@Job:17:7 @ My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow, And all my members are like shadows.

nkjv@Job:17:8 @ Upright men are astonished at this, And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.

nkjv@Job:17:9 @ Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.

nkjv@Job:17:10 @ "But please, come back again, all of you, For I shall not find one wise man among you.

nkjv@Job:17:11 @ My days are past, My purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.

nkjv@Job:17:12 @ They change the night into day; "The light is near,' they say, in the face of darkness.

nkjv@Job:17:13 @ If I wait for the grave as my house, If I make my bed in the darkness,

nkjv@Job:17:14 @ If I say to corruption, "You are my father,' And to the worm, "You are my mother and my sister,'

nkjv@Job:17:15 @ Where then is my hope? As for my hope, who can see it?

nkjv@Job:17:16 @ Will they go down to the gates of Sheol? Shall we have rest together in the dust?"
