Job 17:1-6 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. My spirit is broken, my days finished,my burial at hand.

2. Surely mockers surround me,at their provocation, my eyes grow dim.

3. Put up a pledge for me with you:who is there to give surety for me?

4. You darken their minds to knowledge;therefore you will not exalt them.

5. For a share of property he informs on friends,while the eyes of his children grow dim.

6. I am made a byword of the people;I am one at whom people spit.
