Job 17:5
3 Give me, I pray, the pledge You demand. Who else will be my guarantor?
4 You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore You will not exalt them.
If a man denounces his friends for a price, the eyes of his children will fail.
6 He has made me a byword among the people, a man in whose face they spit.
7 My eyes have grown dim with grief, and my whole body is but a shadow.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
