Job 17:3-11 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

3. Lay down now a pledge, be thou surety for me with thyself: who is he that striketh hands with me?

4. For thou hast hidden their heart from understanding; therefore thou wilt not exalt them.

5. He that betrayeth friends for a prey--even the eyes of his children shall fail.

6. And he hath made me a proverb of the peoples; and I am become one to be spit on in the face.

7. And mine eye is dim by reason of grief, and all my members are as a shadow.

8. Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be stirred up against the ungodly;

9. But the righteous shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall increase in strength.

10. But as for you all, pray come on again; and I shall not find one wise man among you.

11. My days are past, my purposes are broken off, the cherished thoughts of my heart.
