1	My breath is corrupt# , my days are extinct# , the graves are ready for me. [breath...: or, spirit is spent]
			2	Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue# in their provocation# ? [continue: Heb. lodge]
			3	Lay down# now, put me in a surety# with thee; who is he that will strike# hands with me?
			4	For thou hast hid# their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt# them .
			5	He that speaketh# flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail# .
			6	He hath made# me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret. [aforetime: or, before them]
			7	Mine eye also is dim# by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. [my members: or, my thoughts]
			8	Upright men shall be astonied# at this, and the innocent shall stir up# himself against the hypocrite.
			9	The righteous also shall hold# on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be# stronger and stronger. [be...: Heb. add strength]
			10	But as for you all, do ye return# , and come now# : for I cannot find# one wise man among you.
			11	My days are past# , my purposes are broken off# , even the thoughts of my heart. [the thoughts: Heb. the possessions]
			12	They change# the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. [short: Heb. near]
			13	If I wait# , the grave is mine house: I have made# my bed in the darkness.
			14	I have said# to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister. [said: Heb. cried, or, called]
			15	And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see# it?
			16	They shall go down# to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
