Job 17:16

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?

See the chapter Copy

The waters compassed me about even to the soul: the deep hath closed me round about, the sea hath covered my head.

But we had in ourselves the answer of death, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead.

And he said to me: Son of man: All these bones are the house of Israel: they say: Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost, and we are cut off.

Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:

My days have passed more swiftly than the web is cut by the weaver, and are consumed without any hope.

As a cloud is consumed, and passeth away: so he that shall go down to hell shall not come up.

Then Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:

He hath been acceptable to the gravel of Cocytus. And he shall draw every man after him; and there are innumerable before him.

His bones shall be filled with the vices of his youth: and they shall sleep with him in the dust.
