- 1"My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, And the grave is ready for me.
- 2Surely there are mockers with me, My eye dwells on their provocation.
- 3"Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?
- 4For you have hidden their heart from understanding, Therefore shall you not exalt them.
- 5He who denounces his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.
- 6"But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.
- 7My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. All my members are as a shadow.
- וַתֵּ֣כַהּ
- מִכַּ֣עַשׂ
- עֵינִ֑י
- וִֽיצֻרַ֖י
- כַּצֵּ֣ל
- כֻּלָּֽם׃
- 8Upright men shall be astonished at this. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.
- 9Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger.
- 10But as for you all, come on now again; I shall not find a wise man among you.
- 11My days are past, my plans are broken off, As are the thoughts of my heart.
- 12They change the night into day, Saying 'The light is near' in the presence of darkness.
- 13If I look for Sheol as my house, If I have spread my couch in the darkness,
- 14If I have said to corruption, 'You are my father;' To the worm, 'My mother,' and 'my sister;'
- 15Where then is my hope? As for my hope, who shall see it?
- 16Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, Or descend together into the dust?"
