He that speaketh flattery to [his] friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail (17:5) He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret (17:6) Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members [are] as a shadow (17:7) Upright [men] shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite (17:8) The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger (17:9) But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find [one] wise [man] among you (17:10) My days are past, my purposes are broken off, [even] the thoughts of my heart (17:11) They change the night into day: the light [is] short because of darkness (17:12) If I wait, the grave [is] mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness (17:13) I have said to corruption, Thou [art] my father: to the worm, [Thou art] my mother, and my sister (17:14) And where [is] now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? (17:15) They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when [our] rest together [is] in the dust
(17:16)
