vw - 17

vw@Job:17:1 @ My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, the grave is ready for me.

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

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

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

vw@Job:17:5 @ He who speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

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

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

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

vw@Job:17:9 @ Yet the righteous will take hold on his way, and he who has clean hands shall increase strength.

vw@Job:17:10 @ But please, return and come back, all of you, for I do not find one wise man among you.

vw@Job:17:11 @ My days have past, my plans have been torn apart, even the thoughts of my heart.

vw@Job:17:12 @ They set the night for day. The light is near, they say, in the face of darkness.

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

vw@Job:17:14 @ if I have said to corruption, You are my father, and to the worm, You are my mother and my sister;

vw@Job:17:15 @ where then is my hope? As for my hope, who shall see it?

vw@Job:17:16 @ They shall go down to the gates of Sheol; we shall have rest together in the dust.
