      | ¶ | 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, 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, when [our] rest together [is] in the dust. |
