Job 17 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“Surely ^H518 H3808 mockers ^H2049 are with me,

And my eye ^H5869 [fn]gazes ^H3885 on their provocation ^H4784.

“Establish ^H7760, now ^H4994, a pledge ^H6162 for me with Yourself;

Who ^H4310 is there that will clap ^H8628 my hand ^H3027 in pledge?

“For You have hidden ^H6845 their heart ^H3820 from insight ^H7922,

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 You will not exalt ^H7311 them.

“He who informs ^H5046 against friends ^H7453 for a share ^H2506 of the spoil,

The eyes ^H5869 of his children ^H1121 also will come ^H3615 to ^H3615 an ^H3615 end ^H3615.

“But He has made ^H3322 me a byword ^H4914 of the people ^H5971,

And I am ^H1961 [fn]one at whom men spit ^H8611.

“My eye ^H5869 has also grown ^H3543 dim ^H3543 because ^H4480 of grief ^H3708,

And all ^H3605 my members ^H3338 are as a shadow ^H6738.

“The upright ^H3477 will be ^H8074 appalled ^H8074 at this ^H2088,

And the innocent ^H5355 will stir ^H5782 up ^H5782 himself against ^H5921 the godless ^H2611.

“Nevertheless the righteous ^H6662 will hold ^H270 to his way ^H1870,

And he who has clean ^H2889 hands ^H3027 will grow ^H3254 mightier ^H555 and mightier.

“But come ^H935 again ^H7725 all ^H3605 of [fn]you now ^H4994,

For I do not find ^H4672 a wise ^H2450 man ^H2450 among you.

“My days ^H3117 are ^H5674 past ^H5674; my plans ^H2154 are torn ^H5423 apart ^H5423,

Even the wishes ^H4180 of my heart ^H3824.

“They make ^H7760 night ^H3915 into day ^H3117, saying,

‘The light ^H216 is near ^H7138,’ in the presence ^H6440 of darkness ^H2822.

“If ^H518 I hope ^H6960 for Sheol ^H7585 as my home ^H1004,

I [fn]make ^H7502 my bed ^H3326 in the darkness ^H2822;

If I call ^H7121 to the pit ^H7845, ‘You are my father ^H1’;

To the worm ^H7415, ‘my mother ^H517 and my sister ^H269’;

Where ^H346 now ^H645 is my hope ^H8615?

And who ^H4310 beholds ^H7789 my hope ^H8615?

“[fn]Will it go ^H3381 down ^H3381 with me to Sheol ^H7585?

Shall we together ^H3162 go ^H5183 down ^H5183 into the dust ^H6083?”
