Job 17:2-6
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 17

2Mockers are certainly with me, And my eye gazes on their provocation. 3'Make a pledge for me with Yourself; Who is there that will be my guarantor? 4For You have kept their hearts away from understanding; Therefore You will not exalt them. 5He who informs against friends for a share of the spoils, The eyes of his children also will perish. 6'But He has made me a proverb among the people, And I am one at whom people spit.
King James Version

Chapter 17

2Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
4For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
5He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 17

2Surely mockers surround me, and my eyes must gaze at their rebellion. 3Accept my pledge! Put up security for me. Who else will be my sponsor? 4You have closed their minds to understanding, therefore you will not honor them.
5If a man denounces his friends for a price, the eyes of his children will fail. 6He has made me an object of scorn to the people; I have become a man people spit at.
New Living Translation

Chapter 17

2I am surrounded by mockers. I watch how bitterly they taunt me.
3'You must defend my innocence, O God, since no one else will stand up for me. 4You have closed their minds to understanding, but do not let them triumph. 5They betray their friends for their own advantage, so let their children faint with hunger.
6'God has made a mockery of me among the people; they spit in my face.
English Standard Version

Chapter 17

2Surely there are mockers about me, and my eye dwells on their provocation. 3"Lay down a pledge for me with you; who is there who will put up security for me? 4Since you have closed their hearts to understanding, therefore you will not let them triumph. 5He who informs against his friends to get a share of their property — the eyes of his children will fail. 6"He has made me a byword of the peoples, and I am one before whom men spit.
New International Version

Chapter 17

2Surely mockers surround me; my eyes must dwell on their hostility. 3"Give me, O God, the pledge you demand. Who else will put up security for me? 4You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore you will not let them triumph.
5If anyone denounces their friends for reward, the eyes of their children will fail. 6"God has made me a byword to everyone, a man in whose face people spit.
New King James Version

Chapter 17

2 Are not mockers with me? And does not my eye dwell on their provocation? 3“Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself. Who is he who will shake hands with me? 4For You have hidden their heart from understanding; Therefore You will not exalt them. 5He who speaks flattery to his friends, Even the eyes of his children will fail. 6“But He has made me a byword of the people, And I have become one in whose face men spit.
