\c 17
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 1 "My time to live is almost ended; I have no strength left;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 those who have dug my grave are waiting for me.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 2 Those who are around me are making fun of me;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 I must always see them mocking me."
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 3 "God, it is as though I were in prison;
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 please pay the money in order that I may be released,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 because there is certainly no one else who will help me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 4 You have prevented my friends from understanding what is true about me,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 but you will not allow them to triumph over me, saying that I have done wrong things.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 5 Our ancestors said, 'It often happens that when someone betrays his friends in order to get some of their property,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 it is that person's children who will be punished for it;'
|
|
|
|
|
\q1 so I desire that will be true of these friends of mine who are lying about me.
|
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 6 But now people use that saying of our ancestors when they talk about me;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they spit to insult me.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 7 My eyes have become dim because I am very sad,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and my arms and legs are as thin as shadows.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 8 People who are truly righteous will be shocked when they see what has happened to me;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 they will be angry at those who refuse to honor God.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 9 Those who are truly righteous will continue to do what is right,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 and those who live righteously will continue to become stronger.
|
|
|
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 10 But all you friends of mine,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 I do not find even one among you who is wise.

|
|
|
\v 11 My time to live is almost ended; I have not been able to do the things that I planned to do.
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 As for the things I have most desired, there is no hope of them happening.

\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 12 My friends do not know when it is night and when it is day;
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 when it is night, they claim that it is daylight;
|
2016-09-02 18:24:22 +00:00
|
|
|
\q2 when it is becoming dark, they claim that it is getting light.

|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 13 I know that my home will be the place where dead people are,
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 where I will sleep in the darkness.
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 14 I can say to the grave, 'Where I am buried, that place will be like a father to me.'
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 I can say to the maggots, 'You will be like a mother or younger sisters to me because that is where I will always be.'
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 15 There is certainly no more hope left for me.
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 No one expects that I will have any more happiness.

\s5

|
\q1
|
|
|
|
|
\v 16 After I descend to the place where the dead are, I will not be able to expect anything good there.
|
|
|
|
|
\q2 I and the things I hope for will go down together into the soil."
