Job Sits at the Mouth of a Tomb
by emmanuel_higgins
17
:
1
Job 17:1
chevron_left
chevron_right
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.
