New International Reader's Version

Job 17:4-10 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

4. You have closed the minds of those who are trying to comfort me. They don't understand that I haven't done anything wrong. So don't let them win the argument.

5. Suppose a man tells lies about his friends to get a reward. Then his own children will suffer for it.

6. "God has made everyone laugh at me. People spit in my face.

7. My eyes have grown weak because I'm so sad. My body is so thin it hardly casts a shadow.

8. Those who claim to be honest are shocked when they see me. Those who think they haven't sinned are stirred up against me. They think I'm ungodly.

9. But godly people will keep doing what is right. Those who have clean hands will grow stronger.

10. "Come on, all of you! Try again! I can't find a wise person among you.
