Dual Panel1My spirit <07307> is broken <02254>, my days <03117> have faded out <02193>, the grave <06913> awaits me.
2Surely <0518> mockery <02049> is with me <05978>; my eyes <05869> must dwell <03885> on their hostility <04784>.
3Make <07760> then my pledge <06148> with <05973> you. Who <04310> else will put up security <08628> <03027> for me?
4Because <03588> you have closed <06845> their minds <03820> to understanding <07922>, therefore <03651> you will not <03808> exalt <07311> them.
5If a man denounces <05046> his friends <07453> for personal gain <02506>, the eyes <05869> of his children <01121> will fail <03615>.
6He has made <03322> me a byword <04914> to people <05971>, I am the one in whose face <06440> they spit <08611>.
7My eyes <05869> have grown dim <03543> with grief <03708>; my whole <03605> frame <03338> is but a shadow <06738>.
8Upright <03477> men are appalled <08074> at <05921> this <02063>; the innocent <05355> man is troubled <05782> with <05921> the godless <02611>.
9But the righteous <06662> man holds <0270> to his way <01870>, and the one with clean <02891> hands <03027> grows <03254> stronger <0555>.
10“But <0199> turn <07725>, all <03605> of you, and come <0935> now <04994>! I will not <03808> find <04672> a wise <02450> man among you.
11My days <03117> have passed <05674>, my plans <02154> are shattered <05423>, even the desires <04180> of my heart <03824>.
12These men change night <03915> into day <03117>; they say, ‘The light <0216> is near <07138> in the face <06440> of darkness <02822>.’
13If <0518> I hope <06960> for the grave <07585> to be my home <01004>, if I spread <07502> out my bed <03326> in darkness <02822>,
14If I cry <07121> to corruption <07845>, ‘You <0859> are my father <01>,’ and to the worm <07415>, ‘My Mother <0517>,’ or ‘My sister <0269>,’
15where <0346> then <0645> is my hope <08615>? And my hope <08615>, who <04310> sees <07789> it?
16Will it go down <03381> to the barred <0905> gates of death <07585>? Will we descend <05183> together <03162> into the dust <06083>?”
