New Testament

Job 17:1-9 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. “My spirit is broken.My days have been snuffed out.The cemetery ⌊is waiting⌋ for me.

2. Certainly, mockers are around me.My eyes are focused on their opposition.

3. Please guarantee my bail yourself.Who else will guarantee it with a handshake?

4. You have closed their minds so that they cannot understand.That is why you will not honor them.

5. (Whoever turns in friends to get their propertyshould have his children’s eyesight fail.)

6. “Now he has made me a laughingstock for many people.Now they spit in my face.

7. Now my eyes are blurred from grief.Now all my limbs are like a shadow.

8. Decent people are shocked by this,and it stirs up the innocent against godless people.

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