Job 17:1-9

New International Version

³ “Give me, O God, the pledge you demand.^(F)
    Who else will put up security^(G) for me?^(H)
4 You have closed their minds to understanding;^(I)
    therefore you will not let them triumph.
⁵ If anyone denounces their friends for reward,^(J)
    the eyes of their children will fail.^(K)

⁶ “God has made me a byword^(L) to everyone,^(M)
    a man in whose face people spit.^(N)
7 My eyes have grown dim with grief;^(O)
    my whole frame is but a shadow.^(P)
8 The upright are appalled at this;
    the innocent are aroused^(Q) against the ungodly.
⁹ Nevertheless, the righteous^(R) will hold to their ways,
    and those with clean hands^(S) will grow stronger.^(T)
