Job 17:1
Job Continues: Where Then Is My Hope?
1 “My spirit is broken; my days are aextinct;bthe graveyard is ready for me.
Job 17:11-16
11My cdays are past; my plans are broken off,the desires of my heart.
12They dmake night into day:
‘The light,’ they say, ‘is near to the darkness.’ ▼
▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
13If I hope for fSheol as gmy house,
if I make my bed in darkness,
14if I say to the pit, ‘You are my father,’
and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’
15where then is my hope?
Who will see my hope?
16Will it go down to the bars of hSheol?
Shall we idescend together jinto the dust?”
Psalms 73:14
14For all the day long I have been kstrickenand lrebuked mevery morning.
Isaiah 53:3
3 nHe was despised and rejected ▼▼Or forsaken
by men,a man of sorrows, ▼
▼Or pains; also verse 4
and acquainted with ▼▼Or and knowing
grief; ▼▼Or sickness; also verse 4
and as one from whom men hide their faces ▼
▼Or as one who hides his face from us
he was despised, and twe esteemed him not.
