Job 17:1-8

17:1

My breath
<07307>

is corrupt
<02254> (8795)_,

my days
<03117>

are extinct
<02193> (8738)_,

the graves
<06913>

[are ready] for me. {breath...: or, spirit is spent}

17:2

[Are there] not mockers
<02049>

with me? and doth not mine eye
<05869>

continue
<03885> (8799)

in their provocation
<04784> (8687)_?

{continue: Heb. lodge}

17:3

Lay down
<07760> (8798)

now, put me in a surety
<06148> (8798)

with thee; who [is] he [that] will strike
<08628> (8735)

hands
<03027>

with me?

17:4

For thou hast hid
<06845> (8804)

their heart
<03820>

from understanding
<07922>_:

therefore shalt thou not exalt
<07311> (8787)

[them].

17:5

He that speaketh
<05046> (8686)

flattery
<02506>

to [his] friends
<07453>_,

even the eyes
<05869>

of his children
<01121>

shall fail
<03615> (8799)_.

17:6

He hath made
<03322> (8689)

me also a byword
<04914>

of the people
<05971>_;

and aforetime
<06440>

I was as a tabret
<08611>_.

{aforetime: or, before them}

17:7

Mine eye
<05869>

also is dim
<03543> (8799)

by reason of sorrow
<03708>_,

and all my members
<03338>

[are] as a shadow
<06738>_.

{my members: or, my thoughts}

17:8

Upright
<03477>

[men] shall be astonied
<08074> (8799)

at this, and the innocent
<05355>

shall stir up
<05782> (8709)

himself against the hypocrite
<02611>_.
