- 1My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.רוּחִ֣י חֻ֭בָּלָה יָמַ֥י נִזְעָ֗כוּ קְבָרִ֥ים
- 2Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?אִם לֹ֣א הֲ֭תֻלִים עִמָּדִ֑י וּ֝בְהַמְּרוֹתָ֗ם תָּלַ֥ן עֵינִֽי
- 3Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?שִֽׂימָה נָּ֭א עָרְבֵ֣נִי עִמָּ֑ךְ מִֽי ה֝֗וּא לְיָדִ֥י יִתָּקֵֽעַ
- 4For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.כִּֽי לִ֭בָּם צָפַ֣נְתָּ מִּשָּׂ֑כֶל עַל כֵּ֝֗ן לֹ֣א תְרֹמֵֽם
- 5He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.לְ֭חֵלֶק יַגִּ֣יד רֵעִ֑ים וְעֵינֵ֖י בָנָ֣יו תִּכְלֶֽנָה
- 6He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.וְֽ֭הִצִּגַנִי לִמְשֹׁ֣ל עַמִּ֑ים וְתֹ֖פֶת לְפָנִ֣ים אֶֽהְיֶֽה
- 7Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.וַתֵּ֣כַהּ מִכַּ֣עַשׂ עֵינִ֑י וִֽיצֻרַ֖י כַּצֵּ֣ל כֻּלָּֽם
- 8Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.יָשֹׁ֣מּוּ יְשָׁרִ֣ים עַל זֹ֑את וְ֝נָקִ֗י עַל חָנֵ֥ף יִתְעֹרָֽר
- 9The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.וְיֹאחֵ֣ז צַדִּ֣יק דַּרְכּ֑וֹ וּֽטֳהָר יָ֝דַ֗יִם יֹסִ֥יף אֹֽמֶץ
- 10But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.וְֽאוּלָ֗ם כֻּלָּ֣ם תָּ֭שֻׁבוּ וּבֹ֣אוּ נָ֑א וְלֹֽא אֶמְצָ֖א חָכָֽם
- 11My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.יָמַ֣י עָ֭בְרוּ זִמֹּתַ֣י נִתְּק֑וּ מ֖וֹרָשֵׁ֣י לְבָבִֽי
- 12They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.לַ֭יְלָה לְי֣וֹם יָשִׂ֑ימוּ א֝֗וֹר קָר֥וֹב מִפְּנֵי חֹֽשֶׁךְ
- 13If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.אִם אֲ֭קַוֶּה שְׁא֣וֹל בֵּיתִ֑י בַּ֝חֹ֗שֶׁךְ רִפַּ֥דְתִּי יְצוּעָֽי
- 14I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.לַשַּׁ֣חַת קָ֭רָאתִי אָ֣בִי אָ֑תָּה אִמִּ֥י וַ֝אֲחֹתִ֗י לָֽרִמָּֽה
- 15And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?וְ֭אַיֵּה אֵפ֣וֹ תִקְוָתִ֑י וְ֝תִקְוָתִ֗י מִ֣י יְשׁוּרֶֽנָּה
- 16They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.בַּדֵּ֣י שְׁאֹ֣ל תֵּרַ֑דְנָה אִם יַ֖חַד עַל עָפָ֣ר נָֽחַת

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
