Holman Christian Standard Bible

Job 17:1-10 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. My spirit is broken.My days are extinguished.A graveyard awaits me.

2. Surely mockers surround meand my eyes must gaze at their rebellion.

3. Make arrangements! Put up security for me. Who else will be my sponsor?

4. You have closed their minds to understanding,therefore You will not honor them.

5. If a man informs on his friends for a price,the eyes of his children will fail.

6. He has made me an object of scorn to the people;I have become a man people spit at.

7. My eyes have grown dim from grief,and my whole body has become but a shadow.

8. The upright are appalled at this,and the innocent are roused against the godless.

9. Yet the righteous person will hold to his way,and the one whose hands are clean will grow stronger.

10. But come back and try again, all of you. I will not find a wise man among you.
