1. My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.
2. Surely there are mockers with me, and mine eye abideth in their provocation.
3. Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; who is there that will strike hands with me?
4. For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
5. He that denounceth his friends for a prey, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6. He hath made me also a byword of the people; and I am become an open abhorring.
7. Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
