1 My breath H7307 is corrupt, H2254 my days H3117 are extinct, H2193 the graves H6913 are ready for me.
2 Are there not H3808 mockers H2049 with H5978 me? and doth not mine eye H5869 continue H3885 in their provocation H4784 ?
3 Lay down H7760 now, H4994 put me in a surety H6148 with H5973 thee; who H4310 is he H1931 that will strike H8628 hands H3027 with me?
4 For H3588 thou hast hid H6845 their heart H3820 from understanding H4480 H7922 : therefore H3651 H5921 shalt thou not H3808 exalt H7311 them .
5 He that speaketh H5046 flattery H2506 to his friends, H7453 even the eyes H5869 of his children H1121 shall fail. H3615
6 He hath made H3322 me also a byword H4914 of the people; H5971 and formerly H6440 I was H1961 as a tabret. H8611
7 Mine eye H5869 also is dim H3543 by reason of sorrow H4480 H3708 , and all H3605 my members H3338 are as a shadow. H6738
8 Upright H3477 men shall be astonished H8074 at H5921 this, H2063 and the innocent H5355 shall stir up himself H5782 against H5921 the hypocrite. H2611
9 The righteous H6662 also shall hold H270 on his way, H1870 and he that hath clean H2889 hands H3027 shall be stronger and stronger H3254 H555 .
10 But H199 as for you all, H3605 do ye return, H7725 and come H935 now: H4994 for I cannot H3808 find H4672 one wise H2450 man among you.
11 My days H3117 are past, H5674 my purposes H2154 are broken off, H5423 even the thoughts H4180 of my heart. H3824
12 They change H7760 the night H3915 into day: H3117 the light H216 is short H7138 because H4480 H6440 of darkness. H2822
13 If H518 I wait, H6960 the grave H7585 is mine house: H1004 I have made H7502 my bed H3326 in the darkness. H2822
14 I have said H7121 to corruption, H7845 Thou H859 art my father: H1 to the worm, H7415 Thou art my mother, H517 and my sister. H269
15 And where H346 is now H645 my hope H8615 ? as for my hope, H8615 who H4310 shall see H7789 it?
16 They shall go down H3381 to the bars H905 of the pit, H7585 when H518 our rest H5183 together H3162 is in H5921 the dust. H6083
