Job 17:8-15 American Standard Version (ASV)

8. Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

9. Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.

10. But as for you all, come on now again; And I shall not find a wise man among you.

11. My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.

12. They change the night into day: The light, say they, is near unto the darkness.

13. If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;

14. If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister;

15. Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
