Job 17 📜 📕 ↷

1 MY spirit shall be extenuated, my days shall be shortened, and the grave only remaineth for me.📜💬📚

2 I have not sinned, and mine eye abideth in bitterness.📜💬📚

3 Deliver me, and set me beside thee, and let any man's hand fight against me.📜💬📚

4 Thou hast made their heart far from discipline, and therefore they shall not be exalted.📜💬📚

5 He promiseth a prey to his fellows, and the eyes of his children shall fail.📜💬📚

6 He hath set me as it were for a proverb of the common people, and I am an example before them.📜💬📚

7 Mine eye is dim for indignation, and my members are brought as it were to nothing.📜💬📚

8 The just shall be astonished upon this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.📜💬📚

9 And the just shall hold his way, & with clean hands shall add strength.📜💬📚

10 Be all you therefore converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.📜💬📚

11 My days have passed, my cogitations are dissipated, tormenting my heart:📜💬📚

12 Night they have turned into day, and again after darkness I hope for light.📜💬📚

13 If I shall expect, hell is my house, and in darkness I have made my bed.📜💬📚

14 I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father, my mother, and my sister, to worms.📜💬📚

15 Where is now then my expectation, and my patience who considereth.📜💬📚

16 All my things shall descend into most deep hell: there at the least, shall I have rest thinkest thou?📜💬📚
