17:1	My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
17:2	Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
17:3	Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
17:4	For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
17:5	He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
17:6	He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
17:7	Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
17:8	Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
17:9	The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
17:10	But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
17:11	My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
17:12	They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
17:13	If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
17:14	I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
17:15	And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
17:16	They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.


17:1	רוחי חבלה ימי נזעכו קברים׃

17:10	ואולם כלם תשׁבו ובאו נא ולא אמצא בכם חכם׃
17:11	ימי עברו זמתי נתקו מורשׁי לבבי׃
17:12	לילה ליום ישׂימו אור קרוב מפני חשׁך׃

17:14	לשׁחת קראתי אבי אתה אמי ואחתי לרמה׃
17:15	ואיה אפו תקותי ותקותי מי ישׁורנה׃
17:16	בדי שׁאל תרדנה אם יחד על עפר נחת׃


17:1	My spirit hath been destroyed, My days extinguished -- graves `are' for me.
17:2	If not -- mockeries `are' with me. And in their provocations mine eye lodgeth.
17:3	Place, I pray Thee, my pledge with Thee; Who is he that striketh hand with me?
17:4	For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding, Therefore Thou dost not exalt them.
17:5	For a portion he sheweth friendship, And the eyes of his sons are consumed.
17:6	And he set me up for a proverb of the peoples, And a wonder before them I am.
17:7	And dim from sorrow is mine eye, And my members as a shadow all of them.
17:8	Astonished are the upright at this, And the innocent against the profane Stirreth himself up.
17:9	And the righteous layeth hold `on' his way, And the clean of hands addeth strength, And -- dumb are they all.
17:10	Return, and come in, I pray you, And I find not among you a wise man.
17:11	My days have passed by, My devices have been broken off, The possessions of my heart!
17:12	Night for day they appoint, Light `is' near because of darkness.
17:13	If I wait -- Sheol `is' my house, In darkness I have spread out my couch.
17:14	To corruption I have called: -- `Thou `art' my father.' `My mother' and `my sister' -- to the worm.
17:15	And where `is' now my hope? Yea, my hope, who doth behold it?
17:16	`To' the parts of Sheol ye go down, If together on the dust we may rest.
