Yet the righteous will hold to his way,

And he who has clean hands will be stronger

and stronger" (Job 17:9).

Men are losing their grip on life,

Mockers abound--

Provocation on all sides.

Wise men can't be found.

When beds are made in darkness

Corruption has become their father.

It is time for the innocent

To be astonished by this and

Stir up himself against the hypocrite.

O that one might plead for a man with God,

So the righteous may hold onto their way

And the light of the wicked put out--

The spark of his fire die.

The way of the wicked is slippery

And sin is a reproach, devouring strength;

But he that hath clean hands

Shall be stronger

And stronger.
