View In My BibleJob Says He Has Become a Byword
1 "My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, The a1grave is ready for me. 2 "2Surely mockers are with me, And my eye bgazes on their provocation. 3 "Lay down, now, a pledge 3for me with Yourself; Who is there that will cbe my guarantor ? 4 "For You have d4kept their heart from understanding, Therefore You will not exalt them. 5 "He who 5informs against friends for a share of the spoil, The 6eyes of his children also will languish. 6 "But He has made me a 7byword of the people, And I am eone at whom men 8spit. 7 "My eye has also grown 9dim because of grief, And all my 10members are as a shadow. 8 "The upright will be appalled at this, And the 11innocent will stir up himself against the godless. 9 "Nevertheless 12the righteous will hold to his way, And 13he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger. 10 "But come again all of fyou now, For I 14do not find a wise man among you.New American Standard Bible Copyright © 1960, 1962, 1968, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1995 by The Lockman Foundation, La Habra, California.
