Job 17:8

Read in context

Job 17:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 He has made me a byword among the people, a man in whose face they spit.

7 My eyes have grown dim with grief, and my whole body is but a shadow.

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

9 Yet a righteous one holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.

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