Job 17

Job's hope in God: he expects rest in death.

⁠
[1]
⁠
My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.
[2]
⁠
I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.
[3]
⁠
Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man's hand fight against me.
[4]
⁠
Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.
[5]
⁠
He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.
[2] "Not sinned": That is, I am not guilty of such sins as they charge me with.
⁠
[6]
⁠
He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.
[7]
⁠
My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.
[8]
⁠
The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.
[9]
⁠
And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
[10]
⁠
Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.
⁠
[11]
⁠
My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.
[12]
⁠
They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.
[13]
⁠
If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness.
[14]
⁠
If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.
[15]
⁠
Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?
[13] "Hell": Sheol. The region of the dead.
⁠
[16]
⁠
All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?
[16] "Deepest pit": Literally, hell.
