1 “My spirit is consumed. 2 Surely there are mockers with me. 3 “Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. 4 For you have hidden their heart from understanding, 5 He who denounces his friends for plunder, 6 “But he has made me a byword of the people. 7 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. 8 Upright men shall be astonished at this. 9 Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. 10 But as for you all, come on now again; 11 My days are past, my plans are broken off, 12 They change the night into day, 13 If I look for Sheol+Sheol is the place of the dead. as my house, 14 If I have said to corruption, ‘You are my father;’ 15 where then is my hope? 16 Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol+Sheol is the place of the dead. ,
