Job Says He Has Become a Byword 1My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.
2Surely mockers are with me,
3Lay down, now, a pledge for me with Yourself;
4For You have kept their heart from understanding,
5He who informs against friends for a share of the spoil,
6But He has made me a byword of the people,
7My eye has also grown dim because of grief,
8The upright will be appalled at this,
9Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way,
10But come again all of you now,
11My days are past, my plans are torn apart,
12They make night into day, saying,
13If I look for Sheol as my home,
14If I call to the pit, You are my father;
15Where now is my hope?
16Will it go down with me to Sheol? New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1963, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, Calif. All rights reserved. For Permission to Quote Information visit http://www.lockman.org Bible Apps |
