Job 17:5-13
-
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.
-
11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
-
12 They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
-
13 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
