New American Standard Bible 1995
Job 17:2-7
21Surely mockers are with me, And my eye 2gazes on their provocation.
3“Lay down, now, a pledge 3for me with Yourself; Who is there that will 4be my guarantor?4For You have 56kept their heart from understanding, Therefore You will not exalt them.5He who 7informs against friends for a share of the spoil, The 8eyes of his children also will languish.
6“But He has made me a 9byword of the people, And I am 10one at whom men 11spit.7My eye has also grown 12dim because of grief, And all my 13members are as a shadow.
