Job 17:1-7

YLT

NIV

1 My spirit hath been destroyed, My days extinguished -- graves [are] for me.
1 My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave awaits me.
2 If not -- mockeries [are] with me. And in their provocations mine eye lodgeth.
2 Surely mockers surround me; my eyes must dwell on their hostility.
3 Place, I pray Thee, my pledge with Thee; Who is he that striketh hand with me?
3 “Give me, O God, the pledge you demand. Who else will put up security for me?
4 For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding, Therefore Thou dost not exalt them.
4 You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore you will not let them triumph.
5 For a portion he sheweth friendship, And the eyes of his sons are consumed.
5 If anyone denounces their friends for reward, the eyes of their children will fail.
6 And he set me up for a proverb of the peoples, And a wonder before them I am.
6 “God has made me a byword to everyone, a man in whose face people spit.
7 And dim from sorrow is mine eye, And my members as a shadow all of them.
7 My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow.
