Job 17:9 Context

◄ Job 17:9 ►

Yet a righteous one holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.

Context

9“Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way,
And he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

10“But come again all of you now,
For I do not find a wise man among you.

11“My days are past, my plans are torn apart,
Even the wishes of my heart.

12“They make night into day, saying,
‘The light is near,’ in the presence of darkness.

13“If I look for Sheol as my home,
I make my bed in the darkness;

14If I call to the pit, ‘You are my father’;
To the worm, ‘my mother and my sister’;

15Where now is my hope?
And who regards my hope?

16“Will it go down with me to Sheol?
Shall we together go down into the dust?”
