Job 16:22-17:9
1599 Geneva Bible
22 For the years accounted come, and I shall go the way, whence I shall not return.
17 1 Job sayeth that he consumeth away, and yet doth patiently abide it. 10 He exhorteth his friends to repentance, 13 showing that he looketh out for death.
1 My breath is corrupt: my days are cut off, and the grave is ready for me.
2 There are none but [a]mockers with me, and mine eye continueth in [b]their bitterness.
3 [c]Lay down now, and put me in surety for thee: who is he, that [d]will touch mine hand?
4 For thou hast hid their heart from [e]understanding: therefore shalt thou not set them up on high.
5 [f]For the eyes of his children shall fail, that speaketh flattery to his friends.
6 He hath also made me a [g]byword of the people, and I am as a tabret [h]before them.
7 Mine eye therefore is dim for grief, and all my strength is like a shadow.
8 The righteous shall be astonied at [i]this, and the innocent shall be moved against the hypocrite.
9 But the righteous will hold his [j]way, and he whose hands are pure, shall increase his strength.
