Job’s words and attitude in times of troubles

Job 17:1-16
[1]The end of my life is near. I can hardly breathe;     there is nothing left for me but the grave.
[2]I watch how bitterly everyone mocks me.
[3]I am being honest, God. Accept my word.     There is no one else to support what I say.
[4]You have closed their minds to reason;     don’t let them triumph over me now.
[5]In the old proverb someone betrays his friends for money,     and his children suffer for it.
[6]And now people use this proverb against me;     they come and spit in my face.
[7]My grief has almost made me blind;     my arms and legs are as thin as shadows.
[8]Those who claim to be honest are shocked,     and they all condemn me as godless.
[9]Those who claim to be respectable     are more and more convinced they are right.
[10]But if all of them came and stood before me,     I would not find even one of them wise.
[11]My days have passed; my plans have failed;     my hope is gone.
[12]But my friends say night is daylight;     they say that light is near,     but I know I remain in darkness.
[13]My only hope is the world of the dead,     where I will lie down to sleep in the dark.
[14]I will call the grave my father,     and the worms that eat me     I will call my mother and my sisters.
[15]Where is there any hope for me?     Who sees any?
[16]Hope will not go with me     when I go down to the world of the dead.
