Job 17:1-7 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. “My spirit is broken,my days are extinguished,the grave is ready for me.

2. Are not mockers with me?And does not my eye dwell on their provocation?

3. “Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself.Who is he who will shake hands withme?

4. For You have hidden their heart from understanding.Therefore will You not exalt them.

5. He who speaks flattery to his friends,even the eyes of his children will fail.

6. “And He has made me a byword of the people,someone in whose face they spit.

7. My eye also is dim because of sorrow,and all my members are like a shadow.
