Job 17:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 “My spirit is broken; my days are extinguished; the grave awaits me.

2 Surely mockers surround me, and my eyes must gaze at their rebellion.

3 Give me, I pray, the pledge You demand. Who else will be my guarantor?

4 You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore You will not exalt them.

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