17:1	y breath is corrupt, my dayes are extinct, the graues are ready for me.
17:2	Are there not mockers with mee? and doeth not mine eye continue in their prouocation?
17:3	Lay downe now, put me in a suretie with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
17:4	For thou hast hid their heart from vnderstanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
17:5	Hee that speaketh flattery to his friends, euen the eyes of his children shall faile.
17:6	He hath made me also a by-word of the people, and afore time I was as a tabret.
17:7	Mine eye also is dimme by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
17:8	Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stirre vp himselfe against the hypocrite.
17:9	The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath cleane hands shalbe stronger, and stronger.
17:10	But as for you all, doe you returne, and come now, for I cannot find one wise man among you.
17:11	My dayes are past, my purposes are broken off, euen the thoughts of my heart:
17:12	They change the night into day: the light is short, because of darknes.
17:13	If I waite, the graue is mine house: I haue made my bedde in the darknesse.
17:14	I haue said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worme, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
17:15	And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
17:16	They shall goe downe to the barres of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
