Job 17:2-7

2Surely mockers surround me; my eyes must dwell on their hostility.

3“Give me, O God, the pledge you demand. Who else will put up security for me?

4You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore you will not let them triumph.

5If anyone denounces their friends for reward, the eyes of their children will fail.

6“God has made me a byword to everyone, a man in whose face people spit.

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