18:016:010 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. 18:016:011 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked. 18:016:012 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. 18:016:013 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. 18:016:014 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. 18:016:015 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. 18:016:016 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; 18:016:017 Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. 18:016:018 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. 18:016:019 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high. 18:016:020 My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God. 18:016:021 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour! 18:016:022 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return. 18:017:001 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. 18:017:002 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation? 18:017:003 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me? 18:017:004 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them. 18:017:005 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. 18:017:006 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. 18:017:007 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. 18:017:008 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. 18:017:009 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. 18:017:010 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you. 18:017:011 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. 18:017:012 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. 18:017:013 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. 18:017:014 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
