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

6 He has made me also a byword of the peoples; and I am one in whose face they spit. 7 My eye also is dim from grief; and all my members are like a shadow. 8 Upright ones shall be amazed at this, and the innocent shall stir himself up against the ungodly. 9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he who has clean hands adds strength. 10 And now all of them, go back, and please come again; and I shall not find among you a wise man.

11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, the desires of my heart. 12 They set night for day; the light is near in the face of darkness. 13 If I wait for the grave as my home, I have made my bed in the darkness; 14 I have said to corruption, You are my father; to the worm, My mother and my sister! 15 And where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it? 16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our descent together is in the dust.
