Job 16:18--17:9

O earth
<0776>_,
cover
<03680> (8762)
not thou my blood
<01818>_,
and let my cry
<02201>
have no place
<04725>_.
Also now, behold, my witness
<05707>
[is] in heaven
<08064>_,
and my record
<07717>
[is] on high
<04791>_.
{on high: Heb. in the high places}
My friends
<07453>
scorn
<03887> (8688)
me: [but] mine eye
<05869>
poureth out
<01811> (8804)
[tears] unto God
<0433>_.
{scorn me: Heb. are my scorners}
O that one might plead
<03198> (8686)
for a man
<01397>
with God
<0433>_,
as a man
<0120>
[pleadeth] for his neighbour
<01121> <07453>_!
{neighbour: or, friend}
When a few
<04557>
years
<08141>
are come
<0857> (8799)_,
then I shall go
<01980> (8799)
the way
<0734>
[whence] I shall not return
<07725> (8799)_.
{a few...: Heb. years of number}
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}
[Are there] not mockers
<02049>
with me? and doth not mine eye
<05869>
continue
<03885> (8799)
in their provocation
<04784> (8687)_?
{continue: Heb. lodge}
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?
For thou hast hid
<06845> (8804)
their heart
<03820>
from understanding
<07922>_:
therefore shalt thou not exalt
<07311> (8787)
[them].
He that speaketh
<05046> (8686)
flattery
<02506>
to [his] friends
<07453>_,
even the eyes
<05869>
of his children
<01121>
shall fail
<03615> (8799)_.
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}
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}
Upright
<03477>
[men] shall be astonied
<08074> (8799)
at this, and the innocent
<05355>
shall stir up
<05782> (8709)
himself against the hypocrite
<02611>_.
The righteous
<06662>
also shall hold
<0270> (8799)
on his way
<01870>_,
and he that hath clean
<02890>
hands
<03027>
shall be
<03254> (8686)
stronger and stronger
<0555>_.
{be...: Heb. add strength}
