017:001

Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation

017:002

Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me

017:003

For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them

017:004

He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail

017:005

He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret

017:006

Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow

017:007

Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite

017:008

The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger

017:009

But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you

017:010

My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart

017:011

They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness

017:012

If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness

017:013

I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister

017:014

And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it

017:015

They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust
