1My spirit is broken. My days are extinguished. A graveyard awaits me. 1רוּחִ֣י חֻ֭בָּלָה יָמַ֥י נִזְעָ֗כוּ קְבָרִ֥ים לִֽי׃
2Surely mockers surround me and my eyes must gaze at their rebellion. 2אִם־ לֹ֣א הֲ֭תֻלִים עִמָּדִ֑י וּ֝בְהַמְּרוֹתָ֗ם תָּלַ֥ן עֵינִֽי׃
3Make arrangements! Put up security for me. Who else will be my sponsor? 3שִֽׂימָה־ נָּ֭א עָרְבֵ֣נִי עִמָּ֑ךְ מִֽי ה֝֗וּא לְיָדִ֥י יִתָּקֵֽעַ׃
4You have closed their minds to understanding, therefore You will not honor them. 4כִּֽי־ לִ֭בָּם צָפַ֣נְתָּ מִּשָּׂ֑כֶל עַל־ כֵּ֝֗ן לֹ֣א תְרֹמֵֽם׃
5If a man informs on his friends for a price, the eyes of his children will fail. 5לְ֭חֵלֶק יַגִּ֣יד רֵעִ֑ים וְעֵינֵ֖י בָנָ֣יו תִּכְלֶֽנָה׃
6He has made me an object of scorn to the people; I have become a man people spit at. 6וְֽ֭הִצִּגַנִי לִמְשֹׁ֣ל עַמִּ֑ים וְתֹ֖פֶת לְפָנִ֣ים אֶֽהְיֶֽה׃
7My eyes have grown dim from grief, and my whole body has become but a shadow. 7וַתֵּ֣כַהּ מִכַּ֣עַשׂ עֵינִ֑י וִֽיצֻרַ֖י כַּצֵּ֣ל כֻּלָּֽם׃
8The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent are roused against the godless. 8יָשֹׁ֣מּוּ יְשָׁרִ֣ים עַל־ זֹ֑את וְ֝נָקִ֗י עַל־ חָנֵ֥ף יִתְעֹרָֽר׃
9Yet the righteous person will hold to his way, and the one whose hands are clean will grow stronger. 9וְיֹאחֵ֣ז צַדִּ֣יק דַּרְכּ֑וֹ וּֽטֳהָר־ יָ֝דַ֗יִם יֹסִ֥יף אֹֽמֶץ׃
10But come back and try again, all of you. I will not find a wise man among you. 10וְֽאוּלָ֗ם כֻּלָּ֣ם תָּ֭שֻׁבוּ וּבֹ֣אוּ נָ֑א וְלֹֽא־ אֶמְצָ֖א בָכֶ֣ם חָכָֽם׃
11My days have slipped by; my plans have been ruined, even the things dear to my heart. 11יָמַ֣י עָ֭בְרוּ זִמֹּתַ֣י נִתְּק֑וּ מ֖וֹרָשֵׁ֣י לְבָבִֽי׃
12They turned night into day and made light seem near in the face of darkness. 12לַ֭יְלָה לְי֣וֹם יָשִׂ֑ימוּ א֝֗וֹר קָר֥וֹב מִפְּנֵי־ חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃
13If I await Sheol as my home, spread out my bed in darkness, 13אִם־ אֲ֭קַוֶּה שְׁא֣וֹל בֵּיתִ֑י בַּ֝חֹ֗שֶׁךְ רִפַּ֥דְתִּי יְצוּעָֽי׃
14and say to corruption: You are my father, and to the maggot: My mother or my sister, 14לַשַּׁ֣חַת קָ֭רָאתִי אָ֣בִי אָ֑תָּה אִמִּ֥י וַ֝אֲחֹתִ֗י לָֽרִמָּֽה׃
15where then is my hope? Who can see any hope for me? 15וְ֭אַיֵּה אֵפ֣וֹ תִקְוָתִ֑י וְ֝תִקְוָתִ֗י מִ֣י יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה׃
16Will it go down to the gates of Sheol, or will we descend together to the dust? 16בַּדֵּ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ל תֵּרַ֑דְנָה אִם־ יַ֖חַד עַל־ עָפָ֣ר נָֽחַת׃ ס
