New Testament

Job 17:1-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. My spirit will be wasted, my days will be shortened, and only the grave will left for me.

2. I have not sinned, yet my eye remains in bitterness.

3. Free me, O Lord, and set me beside you, and let the hand of anyone you wish fight against me.

4. You have set their heart far from discipline; therefore, they will not be praised.

5. He promises prey to his companions, but the eyes of his sons will grow faint.

6. He has posted me like a proverb to the people, and I am an example in their presence.

7. My eyesight has been clouded by indignation, and my limbs have been reduced, as if to nothing.

8. The just will be astounded over this, and the innocent will be stirred up against the hypocrite.

9. And the just will cling to his way, and clean hands will increase strength.
