Job 17:2-7

2Surely mockery is with me; my eyes must dwell on their hostility.

3Make then my pledge with you. Who else will put up security for me?

4Because you have closed their minds to understanding, therefore you will not exalt them.

5If a man denounces his friends for personal gain, the eyes of his children will fail.

6He has made me a byword to people, I am the one in whose face they spit.

7My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow.
