Job - douay rheims

Chapter 17

¹ My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me.
² I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.
³ Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man's hand fight against me.
⁴ Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.
⁵ He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.
⁶ He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.
⁷ My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.
⁸ The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.
⁹ And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
¹⁰ Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.
¹¹ My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.
¹² They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.
¹³ If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness.
¹⁴ If I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.
¹⁵ Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?
¹⁶ All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?

Chapter 17

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

¹ My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are mine.
² Are there not mockers around me? and doth [not] mine eye abide in their provocation?
³ Lay down now [a pledge], be thou surety for me with thyself: who is he that striketh hands with me?
⁴ For thou hast hidden their heart from understanding; therefore thou wilt not exalt [them].
⁵ He that betrayeth friends for a prey -- even the eyes of his children shall fail.

⁷ And mine eye is dim by reason of grief, and all my members are as a shadow.
⁸ Upright men [shall be] astonished at this, and the innocent shall be stirred up against the ungodly;
⁹ But the righteous shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall increase in strength.
¹⁰ But as for you all, pray come on again; and I shall not find one wise man among you.
¹¹ My days are past, my purposes are broken off, the cherished thoughts of my heart.
¹² They change the night into day; the light [they imagine] near in presence of the darkness.
¹³ If I wait, Sheol is my house; I spread my bed in the darkness:
¹⁴ I cry to the grave, Thou art my father! to the worm, My mother, and my sister!
¹⁵ And where is then my hope? yea, my hope, who shall see it?
¹⁶ It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, when [our] rest shall be together in the dust.

Chapter 17

¹ My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.
² Truly, those who make sport of me are round about me, and my eyes become dark because of their bitter laughing.
³ Be pleased, now, to be responsible for me to yourself; for there is no other who will put his hand in mine.
⁴ You have kept their hearts from wisdom: for this cause you will not give them honour.
⁵ As for him who is false to his friend for a reward, light will be cut off from the eyes of his children.
⁶ He has made me a word of shame to the peoples; I have become a mark for their sport.
⁷ My eyes have become dark because of my pain, and all my body is wasted to a shade.
⁸ The upright are surprised at this, and he who has done no wrong is troubled because of the evil-doers.
⁹ Still the upright keeps on his way, and he who has clean hands gets new strength.
¹⁰ But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.
¹¹ My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the desires of my heart.
¹² They are changing night into day; they say, The light is near the dark.
¹³ If I am waiting for the underworld as my house, if I have made my bed in the dark;
¹⁴ If I say to the earth, You are my father; and to the worm, My mother and my sister;
¹⁵ Where then is my hope? and who will see my desire?
¹⁶ Will they go down with me into the underworld? Will we go down together into the dust?
