Job 17:5-11
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 17

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. 7My eye has also become inexpressive because of grief, And all my body parts are like a shadow. 8The upright will be appalled at this, And the innocent will stir himself up against the godless. 9Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way, And the one who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger. 10But come again all of you now, For I do not find a wise man among you. 11My days are past, my plans are torn apart, The wishes of my heart.
King James Version

Chapter 17

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.
7Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. 10But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 17

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. 7My eyes have grown dim from grief, and my whole body has become but a shadow. 8The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent are roused against the godless. 9Yet the righteous person will hold to his way, and the one whose hands are clean will grow stronger.
10But come back and try again, all of you. I will not find a wise man among you. 11My days have slipped by; my plans have been ruined, even the things dear to my heart.
New Living Translation

Chapter 17

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. 7My eyes are swollen with weeping, and I am but a shadow of my former self. 8The virtuous are horrified when they see me. The innocent rise up against the ungodly. 9The righteous keep moving forward, and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger.
10'As for all of you, come back with a better argument, though I still won’t find a wise man among you. 11My days are over. My hopes have disappeared. My heart’s desires are broken.
English Standard Version

Chapter 17

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. 7My eye has grown dim from vexation, and all my members are like a shadow. 8The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent stirs himself up against the godless. 9Yet the righteous holds to his way, and he who has clean hands grows stronger and stronger. 10But you, come on again, all of you, and I shall not find a wise man among you. 11My days are past; my plans are broken off, the desires of my heart.
New International Version

Chapter 17

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. 7My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow. 8The upright are appalled at this; the innocent are aroused against the ungodly.
9Nevertheless, the righteous will hold to their ways, and those with clean hands will grow stronger. 10"But come on, all of you, try again! I will not find a wise man among you. 11My days have passed, my plans are shattered. Yet the desires of my heart
New King James Version

Chapter 17

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. 7 My eye has also grown dim because of sorrow, And all my members are like shadows. 8Upright men are astonished at this, And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite. 9Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger. 10“But please, come back again, all of you, For I shall not find one wise man among you. 11 My days are past, My purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.
