[1] “My spirit is consumed.
My days are extinct
and the grave is ready for me.
[2] Surely there are mockers with me.
My eye dwells on their provocation. [3] “Now give a pledge. Be collateral for me with yourself.
Who is there who will strike hands with me?
[4] For you have hidden their heart from understanding,
therefore you will not exalt them.
[5] He who denounces his friends for plunder,
even the eyes of his children will fail. [6] “But he has made me a byword of the people.
They spit in my face.
[7] My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow.
All my members are as a shadow.
[8] Upright men will be astonished at this.
The innocent will stir himself up against the godless.
[9] Yet the righteous will hold to his way.
He who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.
[10] But as for you all, come back.
I will not find a wise man among you.
[11] My days are past.
My plans are broken off,
as are the thoughts of my heart.
[12] They change the night into day,
saying ‘The light is near’ in the presence of darkness.
[13] If I look for Sheolⓘ as my house,
if I have spread my couch in the darkness,
[14] if I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ and ‘My sister,’
[15] where then is my hope?
As for my hope, who will see it?
[16] Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol,ⓘ
or descend together into the dust?”

[1] My breathH7307 is corrupt,H2254(PualPerf) my daysH3117 are extinct,H2193(NiphPerf) the gravesH6913 [are ready] for me. [2] [Are there] not mockersH2049 with me? and doth not mine eyeH5869 continueH3885(QalImpf) in their provocation?H4784(HiphInf) [3] Lay downH7760(QalImpv) now, put me in a suretyH6148(QalImpv) with thee; who [is] he [that] will strikeH8628(NiphImpf) handsH3027 with me? [4] For thou hast hidH6845(QalPerf) their heartH3820 from understanding:H7922 therefore shalt thou not exaltH7311(PoleImpf) [them]. [5] He that speakethH5046(HiphImpf) flatteryH2506 to [his] friends,H7453 even the eyesH5869 of his childrenH1121 shall fail.H3615(QalImpf) [6] He hath madeH3322(HiphPerf) me also a bywordH4914 of the people;H5971 and aforetimeH6440 I was as a tabret.H8611 [7] Mine eyeH5869 also is dimH3543(QalImpf) by reason of sorrow,H3708 and all my membersH3338 [are] as a shadow.H6738 [8] UprightH3477 [men] shall be astoniedH8074(QalImpf) at this, and the innocentH5355 shall stir upH5782(HiplImpf) himself against the hypocrite.H2611 [9] The righteousH6662 also shall holdH270(QalImpf) on his way,H1870 and he that hath cleanH2890 handsH3027 shall beH3254(HiphImpf) stronger and stronger.H555 [10] ButH199 as for you all, do ye return,H7725(QalImpf) and come now:H935(QalImpv) for I cannot findH4672(QalImpf) [one] wiseH2450 [man] among you. [11] My daysH3117 are past,H5674(QalPerf) my purposesH2154 are broken off,H5423(NiphPerf) [even] the thoughtsH4180 of my heart.H3824 [12] They changeH7760(QalImpf) the nightH3915 into day:H3117 the lightH216 [is] shortH7138 becauseH6440 of darkness.H2822 [13] If I wait,H6960(PielImpf) the graveH7585 [is] mine house:H1004 I have madeH7502(PielPerf) my bedH3326 in the darkness.H2822 [14] I have saidH7121(QalPerf) to corruption,H7845 Thou [art] my father:H1 to the worm,H7415 [Thou art] my mother,H517 and my sister.H269 [15] And where [is] nowH645 my hope?H8615 as for my hope,H8615 who shall seeH7789(QalImpf) it? [16] They shall go downH3381(QalImpf) to the barsH905 of the pit,H7585 when [our] restH5183 togetherH3162 [is] in the dust.H6083
