- 1. My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, The grave is [ready] for me.
- 2. Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation.
- 3. Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike hands with me?
- 4. For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt [them].
- 5. He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.
- 6. But he hath made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face.
- 7. Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadow.
- 8. Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.
- 9. Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.
- 10. But as for you all, come on now again; And I shall not find a wise man among you.
- 11. My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.
- 12. They change the night into day: The light, [say they], is near unto the darkness.
- 13. If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;
- 14. If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister;
- 15. Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
- 16. It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, When once there is rest in the dust.
