Job 17:1-6 English Standard Version (ESV)

1. “My spirit is broken; my days are extinct; the graveyard is ready for me.

2. Surely there are mockers about me,and my eye dwells on their provocation.

3. “Lay down a pledge for me with you;who is there who will put up security for me?

4. Since you have closed their hearts to understanding,therefore you will not let them triumph.

5. He who informs against his friends to get a share of their property—the eyes of his children will fail.

6. “He has made me a byword of the peoples,and I am one before whom men spit.
