BRAGADAYJAH 1271
Job Continues – He will rest in death.
My breath is corrupt; my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. Are
there not mockers with me? And does not my eye continue in their provocation?
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee. Who is he that will strike hands
with me? For thou hast hid their heart from understanding; therefore shall thou
not exalt them. He that speaketh flatter, to his family even the eyes of the
children shall fail. He hath made me also a byword of the people, and aforetime
was as a tabret. My eyes also is dim by reason of sorrow and all my members are
a shadow. Upright men shall be astounded at this, and the innocent shall stir
up himself against the hypocrite. The righteous also shall hold on his way, and
he that has clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. But as for you all for
ye return and come now, for I cannot find one wise among you. My days are past;
my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. They change the night
into day, the light is short because of darkness. If I wait, the grave is my house,
I have made my bed in the darkness. I have said to corruption, Thou art my
father, to the worm thou art my mother and my sister; and where is now my hope?
As for my hope who shall see it? They shall go down to the bars of the pit,
when our rest together is in the dust.www.chaberbooks.com
