Job 17:2-7

2Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?1

3Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?

4For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.

5He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

6He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.2

7Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.3
