1"My spirit is consumed. My days are extinct, 2Surely there are mockers with me. 3"Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. 4For you have hidden their heart from understanding, 5He who denounces his friends for a prey, 6"But he has made me a byword of the people. 7My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow. 8Upright men shall be astonished at this. 9Yet shall the righteous hold on his way. 10But as for you all, come on now again; 11My days are past, my plans are broken off, 12They change the night into day, 13If I look for Sheol as my house, 14If I have said to corruption, 'You are my father;' 15where then is my hope? 16Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol,
