(UKJV - Anglický - Updated King James)

Jób 17, 1-16

1 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. 2 Are there not mockers with me? and does not mine eye continue in their provocation? 3 "Lay down now, put me in a guarantor with you; who is he that will shake hands with me? " 4 For you have hid their heart from understanding: therefore shall you not exalt them. 5 He that speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail. 6 "He has made me also a byword of the people; and in old times I was as a timbrel. " 7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. 8 Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. 9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that has clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. 10 But as for you all, do all of you return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you. 11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. 12 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness. 13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness. 14 I have said to corruption, You are my father: to the worm, You are my mother, and my sister. 15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it? 16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

Verš 16

They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

Jób 3:17 - "There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest. "

Jób 30:23 - For I know that you will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

Verš 10

But as for you all, do all of you return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.

Jób 6:29 - "Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it. "

Verš 11

My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.

Jób 7:6 - My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.

Jób 9:25 - Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

Verš 6

"He has made me also a byword of the people; and in old times I was as a timbrel. "

Jób 30:9 - And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

Job 17,5 - Verš uvádza porekadlo, ktoré vzniklo na Východe.

Job 17,8 - Vo veršoch sa javí ďalšia trpká irónia. "Poctiví a čistí" sú priatelia, ktorí sa pohoršia a žasnú nad údajným hriešnikom Jóbom, ktorého majú za vinníka jedine preto, lebo trpí. "Cesta spravodlivých" je v zmysle Jóbovho výsmechu všetko bezohľadné počínanie priateľov proti Jóbovi.

Job 17,12 - Moji priatelia by mi chceli nahovoriť, že noc mojich bolestí je vlastne už istým "svitom" môjho nádejného šťastia, a tak mi "noc obrátili na deň". Pritom neprestávajú ma pokladať za veľkého hriešnika, ktorý má konať len pokánie, aby sa všetko okolo neho zmenilo.
