1	רוּחִ֣י חֻ֭בָּלָה יָמַ֥י נִזְעָ֗כוּ קְבָרִ֥ים לִֽי׃	“My spirit is broken; my days are extinguished; the grave awaits me.	My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves [are ready] for me.
2	אִם־ לֹ֣א הֲ֭תֻלִים עִמָּדִ֑י וּ֝בְהַמְּרוֹתָ֗ם תָּלַ֥ן עֵינִֽי׃	Surely mockers surround me, and my eyes must gaze at their rebellion.	[Are there] not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3	שִֽׂימָה־ נָּ֭א עָרְבֵ֣נִי עִמָּ֑ךְ מִֽי ה֝֗וּא לְיָדִ֥י יִתָּקֵֽעַ׃	Give me, I pray, the pledge You demand. Who else will be my guarantor?	Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who [is] he [that] will strike hands with me?
4	כִּֽי־ לִ֭בָּם צָפַ֣נְתָּ מִּשָּׂ֑כֶל עַל־ כֵּ֝֗ן לֹ֣א תְרֹמֵֽם׃	You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore You will not exalt them.	For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt [them].
5	לְ֭חֵלֶק יַגִּ֣יד רֵעִ֑ים וְעֵינֵ֖י בָנָ֣יו תִּכְלֶֽנָה׃	If a man denounces his friends for a price, the eyes of his children will fail.	He that speaketh flattery to [his] friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6	וְֽ֭הִצִּגַנִי לִמְשֹׁ֣ל עַמִּ֑ים וְתֹ֖פֶת לְפָנִ֣ים אֶֽהְיֶֽה׃	He has made me a byword among the people, a man in whose face they spit.	He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7	וַתֵּ֣כַהּ מִכַּ֣עַשׂ עֵינִ֑י וִֽיצֻרַ֖י כַּצֵּ֣ל כֻּלָּֽם׃	My eyes have grown dim with grief, and my whole body is but a shadow.	Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members [are] as a shadow.
8	יָשֹׁ֣מּוּ יְשָׁרִ֣ים עַל־ זֹ֑את וְ֝נָקִ֗י עַל־ חָנֵ֥ף יִתְעֹרָֽר׃	The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent are stirred against the godless.	Upright [men] shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9	וְיֹאחֵ֣ז צַדִּ֣יק דַּרְכּ֑וֹ וּֽטֳהָר־ יָ֝דַ֗יִם יֹסִ֥יף אֹֽמֶץ׃	Yet a righteous one holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.	The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10	וְֽאוּלָ֗ם כֻּלָּ֣ם תָּ֭שֻׁבוּ וּבֹ֣אוּ נָ֑א וְלֹֽא־ אֶמְצָ֖א בָכֶ֣ם חָכָֽם׃	But come back and try again, all of you. For I will not find a wise man among you.	But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find [one] wise [man] among you.
11	יָמַ֣י עָ֭בְרוּ זִמֹּתַ֣י נִתְּק֑וּ מ֖וֹרָשֵׁ֣י לְבָבִֽי׃	My days have passed; my plans are broken off— even the desires of my heart.	My days are past, my purposes are broken off, [even] the thoughts of my heart.
12	לַ֭יְלָה לְי֣וֹם יָשִׂ֑ימוּ א֝֗וֹר קָר֥וֹב מִפְּנֵי־ חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃	They have turned night into day, making light seem near in the face of darkness.	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 Sheol as my home, if I spread out my bed in darkness,	If I wait, the grave [is] mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
14	לַשַּׁ֣חַת קָ֭רָאתִי אָ֣בִי אָ֑תָּה אִמִּ֥י וַ֝אֲחֹתִ֗י לָֽרִמָּֽה׃	and say to corruption, ‘You are my father,’ and to the worm, ‘My mother,’ or ‘My sister,’	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? Who can see any hope for me?	And where [is] now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16	בַּדֵּ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ל תֵּרַ֑דְנָה אִם־ יַ֖חַד עַל־ עָפָ֣ר נָֽחַת׃ ס	Will it go down to the gates of Sheol? Will we go down together into the dust?”	They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when [our] rest together [is] in the dust.
