Job 17:2-7

2I am surrounded by mockers. I watch how bitterly they taunt me.

3“You must defend my innocence, O God, since no one else will stand up for me.

4You have closed their minds to understanding, but do not let them triumph.

5They betray their friends for their own advantage, so let their children faint with hunger.

6“God has made a mockery of me among the people; they spit in my face.

7My eyes are swollen with weeping, and I am but a shadow of my former self.
