Job 17:1-10
-
1 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
-
2 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
-
3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
-
4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
-
5 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
-
6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
-
7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
-
8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
-
9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
-
10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
