Job 17

Verses of Job 17 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - "My spirit is broken, My days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.
2 - Are not mockers with me? And does not my eye dwell on their provocation?
3 - "Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself. Who is he who will shake hands with me?
4 - For You have hidden their heart from understanding; Therefore You will not exalt them.
5 - He who speaks flattery to his friends, Even the eyes of his children will fail.
6 - "But He has made me a byword of the people, And I have become one in whose face men spit.
7 - My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow, And all my members are like shadows.
8 - Upright men are astonished at this, And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.
9 - Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.
10 - "But please, come back again, all of you, For I shall not 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 near,' they say, in the face of darkness.
13 - If I wait for the grave as my house, If I make my bed in the darkness,
14 - If I say to corruption, "You are my father,' And to the worm, "You are my mother and my sister,'
15 - Where then is my hope? As for my hope, who can see it?
16 - Will they go down to the gates of Sheol? Shall we have rest together in the dust?"
