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.
