Job 17:6-16 - Job Says To His Friends: I'M Still Wiser Than You

⁶ He set me for a parable of the peoples, and I shall be one spit upon to the face. ⁷ And mine eye shall be weak from vexation, and my thoughts as a shadow all of them. ⁸ The upright shall be astonished upon this, and the innocent Shall arouse himself against the profane. ⁹ And the just shall hold on his way, and the clean one of hands shall add strength. ¹⁰ But ye all shall turn back, and come ye now, and I shall not find a wise one among you.

¹¹ My days passed away, my purposes were broken; the possessions of my heart ¹² They will set the night for day: the light being near from the face of darkness. ¹³ If I shall wait, hades is my house: in darkness I spread my bed. ¹⁴ I called to the pit: Grave, thou my father: and to the worm, My mother, and my sister. ¹⁵ And where now my hope? and my hope who shall regard it? ¹⁶ They shall go down to the bars of hades if together we shall go down to the dust.
