Job 17:3-9

Common English Bible

³ Take my guarantee.
    Who else is willing to make an agreement?
⁴ You’ve closed their mind to insight;
    therefore, you won’t be exalted.
⁵ He denounces his friends for gain,
    and his children’s eyes fail.
⁶ He makes me a popular proverb;
    I’m like spit in people’s faces.
⁷ My eye is weak from grief;
    my limbs like a shadow—all of them.
⁸ Those who do the right thing are amazed at this;
    the guiltless become troubled about the godless.
⁹ The innocent clings to his way;
    the one whose hands are clean grows stronger.
