Job 17:1-7 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. My hopes have died,my time is up,and the grave is ready.

2. All I can see are angry crowds,making fun of me.

3. If you, Lord, don't help,who will pay the pricefor my release?

4. My friends won't really listen,all because of you,and so you must be the oneto prove them wrong.

5. They have condemned me,just to benefit themselves;now blind their children.

6. You, God, are the reasonI am insulted and spat on.

7. I am almost blind with grief;my body is a mere shadow.
