Job 17
noyes@Job:17:1 @ My breath is exhausted; My days are at an end; The grave is ready for me.
noyes@Job:17:2 @ Are not revilers before me? And doth not my eye dwell upon their provocations?
noyes@Job:17:3 @ Give a pledge, I pray thee; be thou a surety for me with thee; Who is he that will strike hands with me?
noyes@Job:17:4 @ Behold, thou hast blinded their understanding; Therefore thou wilt not suffer them to prevail.
noyes@Job:17:5 @ He who delivereth up his friends as a prey,The eyes of his children shall fail.
noyes@Job:17:6 @ He made me the byword of the people; Yea, I have become their abhorrence.
noyes@Job:17:7 @ My eye therefore is dim with sorrow, And all my limbs are as a shadow.
noyes@Job:17:8 @ Upright men will be astonished at this, And the innocent will rouse themselves against the wicked.
noyes@Job:17:9 @ The righteous will also hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands will gather strength.
noyes@Job:17:10 @ But as for you all, return, I pray! I find not yet among you one wise man.
noyes@Job:17:11 @ My days are at an end; My plans are broken off; Even the treasures of my heart.
noyes@Job:17:12 @ Night hath become day to me; The light bordereth on darkness.
noyes@Job:17:13 @ Yea, I look to the grave as my home; I have made my bed in darkness.
noyes@Job:17:14 @ I say to the pit, Thou art my father! And to the worm, My mother! and, My sister!
noyes@Job:17:15 @ Where then is my hope? Yea, my hope, who shall see it?
noyes@Job:17:16 @ It must go down to the bars of the underworld, As soon as there is rest for me in the dust.
