- “My spirit is consumed.
My days are extinct, And the grave is ready for me. - Surely there are mockers with me.
My eye dwells on their provocation. - “Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself.
Who is there who will strike hands with me? - For you have hidden their heart from understanding,
Therefore you shall not exalt them. - He who denounces his friends for a prey,
Even the eyes of his children shall fail. - “But he has made me a byword of the people.
They spit in my face. - My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow.
All my members are as a shadow. - Upright men shall be astonished at this.
The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless. - Yet shall the righteous hold on his way.
He who has clean hands shall grow stronger and stronger. - But as for you all, come on now again;
I shall not find a wise man among you. - My days are past, my plans are broken off,
as are the thoughts of my heart. - They change the night into day,
saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness. - If I look for Sheol[1] as my house,
if I have spread my couch in the darkness, - If I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’
to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘my sister;’ - where then is my hope?
as for my hope, who shall see it? - Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol[2],
or descend together into the dust?”
