Job 17:2

Shame

1 “My spirit is broken; my days are extinguished; the grave awaits me.

Surely mockers surround me, and my eyes must gaze at their rebellion.

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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
