Job 17:1-7 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

1. The end of my life is near. I can hardly breathe;there is nothing left for me but the grave.

2. I watch how bitterly everyone mocks me.

3. I am being honest, God. Accept my word.There is no one else to support what I say.

4. You have closed their minds to reason;don't let them triumph over me now.

5. In the old proverb someone betrays his friends for money,and his children suffer for it.

6. And now people use this proverb against me;they come and spit in my face.

7. My grief has almost made me blind;my arms and legs are as thin as shadows.
