Job 17 KJV

1. 17:1  My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
2. 17:2  Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3. 17:3  Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
4. 17:4  For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
5. 17:5  He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6. 17:6  He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7. 17:7  Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8. 17:8  Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9. 17:9  The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10. 17:10  But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11. 17:11  My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
12. 17:12  They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
13. 17:13  If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14. 17:14  I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
15. 17:15  And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16. 17:16  They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
