Verse
KJV
King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
My breath
is
corrupt
, my days are
extinct,
the
graves are ready
for me.
My spirit
hath
been
destroyed
, My days extinguished
--
graves `
are '
for me.
Are
there
not mockers
with me ?
and doth
not
mine
eye
continue
in their provocation?
If
not --
mockeries
`are'
with me .
And in their provocations
mine
eye
lodgeth.
Lay
down
now
, put
me
in
a
surety
with thee; who is he that will
strike
hands
with me?
Place
, I
pray
Thee,
my
pledge
with Thee; Who is he that striketh
hand
with me?
For thou
hast
hid
their heart from understanding :
therefore shalt
thou not exalt them.
For their heart Thou
hast
hidden
From understanding ,
Therefore Thou dost
not exalt them.
He that
speaketh
flattery
to
his
friends
, even
the eyes of his children
shall
fail
.
For
a
portion
he sheweth
friendship
, And
the eyes of his sons
are
consumed
.
He hath
made
me also
a byword
of the people;
and aforetime
I
was
as
a tabret
.
And
he set
me up
for
a proverb
of the peoples,
And a wonder
before
them
I
am
.
Mine
eye
also
is
dim by
reason
of
sorrow, and all
my members are
as a shadow.
And
dim from
sorrow is
mine
eye
, And my members as a shadow all
of
them
.
Upright men
shall
be
astonied
at this, and the innocent shall
stir
up
himself
against the hypocrite
.
Astonished
are
the
upright at this, And the innocent against the profane
Stirreth
himself
up
.
The righteous also
shall
hold on his way, and he
that
hath
clean hands shall
be
stronger
and stronger
.
And
the righteous layeth
hold `
on '
his way, And the
clean of
hands addeth
strength,
And --
dumb
are
they
all
.
But
as
for
you
all,
do
ye
return, and come now:
for
I cannot
find one
wise
man
among you.
Return, and come in,
I pray
you,
And
I
find not
among you a
wise
man
.
My days are
past
, my purposes
are
broken off, even
the thoughts
of my heart .
My days have
passed
by
, My devices
have
been
broken off, The possessions
of my heart !
They
change
the
night into
day :
the
light is short
because of darkness.
Night for
day they
appoint,
Light `
is '
near
because of darkness.
If I wait ,
the
grave
is mine
house :
I have made
my bed
in
the
darkness
.
If I wait --
Sheol
`
is '
my
house ,
In
darkness
I have spread
out
my couch
.
I
have
said
to corruption ,
Thou art my father :
to
the
worm,
Thou
art
my mother ,
and my sister.
To corruption I
have
called:
--
`
Thou `
art '
my father .'
`
My mother '
and `
my sister '
--
to
the
worm
.
And where is now my hope? as
for
my hope, who shall
see
it?
And where `
is '
now my hope? Yea,
my hope, who doth
behold
it?
They
shall
go
down
to the bars
of the
pit
, when
our
rest
together is
in
the dust.
`
To '
the parts
of Sheol
ye
go
down
, If
together on
the dust we
may
rest
.
