Job:17
Seeker Overlay ON
*
My breath is corrupt ,
my days are extinct ,
the graves are ready for me .
*
Are there not mockers with me ?
and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation ?
*
Lay down now ,
put me in a surety with thee ;
who is he that will strike hands with me ?
*
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding :
therefore shalt thou not exalt them .
*
He that speaketh flattery to his friends ,
even the eyes of his children shall fail .
*
He hath made me also a byword of the people ;
and aforetime I was as a tabret .
*
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow ka #
ac #,
and all my members are as a shadow .
*
Upright men shall be astonied at this ,
and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite .
*
The righteous also shall hold on his way ,
and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger .
*
But as for you all ,
do ye return ,
and come now :
for I cannot find one wise man among you .
*
My days are past ,
my purposes are broken off ,
even the thoughts of my heart .
*
They change the night into day :
the light is short because of darkness .
*
If I wait ,
the grave is mine house :
I have made my bed in the darkness .
*
I have said to corruption ,
Thou art my father :
to the worm ,
Thou art my mother ,
and my sister .
*
And where is now my hope ?
as for my hope ,
who shall see it ?
*
They shall go down to the bars of the pit sh @#
owl #,
when our rest together is in the dust .
