Job 17:2-7

2Are there not mockersH2049 with me? and doth not mine eyeH5869 continueH3885 in their provocationH4784?1

3Lay downH7760 now, put me in a suretyH6148 with thee; who is he that will strikeH8628 handsH3027 with me?

4For thou hast hidH6845 their heartH3820 from understandingH7922: therefore shalt thou not exaltH7311 them.

5He that speakethH5046 flatteryH2506 to his friendsH7453, even the eyesH5869 of his childrenH1121 shall failH3615.

6He hath madeH3322 me also a bywordH4914 of the peopleH5971; and aforetimeH6440 I was as a tabretH8611.2

7Mine eyeH5869 also is dimH3543 by reason of sorrowH3708, and all my membersH3338 are as a shadowH6738.3
