17

1 רוּחִ֣י חֻ֭בָּלָה יָמַ֥י נִזְעָ֗כוּ קְבָרִ֥ים לִֽי׃ My spirit consumed, my days are extinct, The grave is ready for me.

2 אִם־לֹ֣א הֲ֭תֻלִים עִמָּדִ֑י וּ֝בְהַמְּרוֹתָ֗ם תָּלַ֥ן עֵינִֽי׃ Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eye abideth in their provocation.

3 שִֽׂימָה־נָּ֭א עׇרְבֵ֣נִי עִמָּ֑ךְ מִ֥י ה֝֗וּא לְיָדִ֥י יִתָּקֵֽעַ׃ Give now a pledge, be surety for me with Thyself; Who else is there that will strike hands with me?

4 כִּֽי־לִ֭בָּם צָפַ֣נְתָּ מִשָּׂ֑כֶל עַל־כֵּ֝֗ן לֹ֣א תְרֹמֵֽם׃ For Thou hast hid their heart from understanding; Therefore shalt Thou not exalt them.

5 לְ֭חֵלֶק יַגִּ֣יד רֵעִ֑ים וְעֵינֵ֖י בָנָ֣יו תִּכְלֶֽנָה׃ He that denounceth his friends for the sake of flattery, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

6 וְֽ֭הִצִּיגַנִי לִמְשֹׁ֣ל עַמִּ֑ים וְתֹ֖פֶת לְפָנִ֣ים אֶהְיֶֽה׃ He hath made me also a byword of the people; And I am become one in whose face they spit.

7 וַתֵּ֣כַהּ מִכַּ֣עַשׂ עֵינִ֑י וִיצֻרַ֖י כַּצֵּ֣ל כֻּלָּֽם׃ Mine eye also is dimmed by reason of vexation, And all my members are as a shadow.

8 יָשֹׁ֣מּוּ יְשָׁרִ֣ים עַל־זֹ֑את וְ֝נָקִ֗י עַל־חָנֵ֥ף יִתְעֹרָֽר׃ Upright men are astonished at this, And the innocent stirreth up himself against the godless.

9 וְיֹאחֵ֣ז צַדִּ֣יק דַּרְכּ֑וֹ וּֽטְהׇר־יָ֝דַ֗יִם יֹסִ֥יף אֹֽמֶץ׃ Yet the righteous holdeth on his way, And he that hath clean hands waxeth stronger and stronger.

10 וְֽאוּלָ֗ם כֻּלָּ֣ם תָּ֭שֻׁבוּ וּבֹ֣אוּ נָ֑א וְלֹֽא־אֶמְצָ֖א בָכֶ֣ם חָכָֽם׃ But as for you all, do ye return, and come now; And I shall not find a wise man among you.

11 יָמַ֣י עָ֭בְרוּ זִמֹּתַ֣י נִתְּק֑וּ מ֖וֹרָשֵׁ֣י לְבָבִֽי׃ My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.

12 לַ֭יְלָה לְי֣וֹם יָשִׂ֑ימוּ א֝֗וֹר קָר֥וֹב מִפְּנֵי־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ They change the night into day; The light is short because of darkness.

13 אִם־אֲ֭קַוֶּה שְׁא֣וֹל בֵּיתִ֑י בַּ֝חֹ֗שֶׁךְ רִפַּ֥דְתִּי יְצוּעָֽי׃ If I look for the nether-world as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;

14 לַשַּׁ֣חַת קָ֭רָאתִי אָ֣בִי אָ֑תָּה אִמִּ֥י וַ֝אֲחֹתִ֗י לָרִמָּֽה׃ If I have said to corruption: ‘Thou art my father’, To the worm: ‘Thou art my mother, and my sister’;

15 וְ֭אַיֵּה אֵפ֣וֹ תִקְוָתִ֑י וְ֝תִקְוָתִ֗י מִ֣י יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃ Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?

16 בַּדֵּ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ל תֵּרַ֑דְנָה אִם־יַ֖חַד עַל־עָפָ֣ר נָֽחַת׃ {פ}
They shall go down to the bars of the nether-world, When we are at rest together in the dust.
