[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?”

King James Version
[1] My breath H7307 is corrupt, H2254§ my days H3117 are extinct, H2193
The graves H6913 are ready for me.
[2] Are there not mockers H2049 with me?
And doth not mine eye H5869 continue H3885§ in their provocation? H4784
[3] Lay down H7760 now, put me in a surety H6148 with thee;
Who is he that will strike H8628 hands H3027 with me?
[4] For H3588 thou hast hid H6845 their heart H3820 from understanding: H7922
Therefore shalt thou not 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 aforetime H6440§ I was as a tabret. H8611
[7] Mine eye H5869 also is dim H3543 by reason of sorrow, H3708
And all my members H3338§ are as a shadow. H6738
[8] Upright H3477 men shall be astonied H8074 at this,
And the innocent H5355 shall stir up H5782 himself against the hypocrite. H2611
[9] The righteous H6662 also shall hold H270 on his way, H1870
And he that hath clean H2890 hands H3027 shall be H3254 stronger§ and stronger. H555
[10] But H199 as for you all, do ye return, H7725 and come now: H935
For I cannot 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 H6440 of darkness. H2822
[13] If 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 art my father: H1
To the worm, H7415 Thou art my mother, H517 and my sister. H269
[15] And where is now H645 my hope? H8615
As for my hope, H8615 who shall see H7789 it?
[16] They shall go down H3381 to the bars H905 of the pit, H7585
When our rest H5183 together H3162 is in the dust. H6083

[1] Ὀλέκομαι πνεύματι G4151 φερόμενος, G5342 δέομαι G1189 δὲ G1161 ταφῆς G5027 καὶ G2532 οὐ G3756 τυγχάνω.

G245 Τίς G5101 ἐστιν G2076 οὗτος; G3778 Τῇ G3588 χειρί G5495 μου G3450 συνδεθήτω. G4887 [4] Ὅτι G3754 καρδίαν G2588 αὐτῶν G846 ἔκρυψας G2928 ἀπὸ G575 φρονήσεως, G5428 διὰ G1223 τοῦτο G5124 οὐ G3756 μὴ G3361 ὑψώσῃς G5312 αὐτούς.

G3450 [12] Νύκτα G3571 εἰς G1519 ἡμέραν G2250 ἔθηκαν, G5087 φῶς G5457 ἐγγὺς G1451 ἀπὸ G575 προσώπου G4383 σκότους. G4655 [13] Ἐὰν G1437 γὰρ G1063 ὑπομείνω, G5278 ᾅδης G86 μου G3450 ὁ G3588 οἶκος, G3624 ἐν G1722 δὲ G1161 γνόφῳ G1105 ἔστρωταί G4766 μου G3450 ἡ G3588 στρωμνή. [14] Θάνατον G2288 ἐπεκαλεσάμην G1941 πατέρα G3962 μου G3450 εἶναι, G1511 μητέρα G3384 δέ G1161 μου G3450 καὶ G2532 ἀδελφὴν G79 σαπρίαν.
