Job 17:2-7

21MockersH2049 are certainlyH518H3808 with me, And my eyeH5869 2gazesH3885 on their provocationH4784.

3“MakeH7760 a pledgeH6162 3for me with Yourself; WhoH4310 is there that will 4beH8628 my guarantorH8628H3027?4For You have 56keptH6845 their heartsH3820 awayH6845 from understandingH7922; ThereforeH5921H3651 You will not exaltH7311 them.5He who 7informsH5046 against friendsH7453 for a shareH2506 of the spoils, The 8eyesH5869 of his childrenH1121 also will perishH3615.

6“But He has madeH3322 me a 9proverbH4912 among the peopleH5971, And I amH1961 10one at whom people 11spitH8611.7My eyeH5869 has also becomeH3543 12inexpressiveH3543 becauseH4480 of griefH3708, And allH3605 my 13bodyH3338 partsH3338 are like a shadowH6738.
