New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Job 16
22 "For when a few years are past, I shall go the way of no return.
Job 17
1 "My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.
2 "Surely mockers are with me, And my eye gazes on their provocation.
3 "Lay down, now, a pledge for me with Yourself; Who is there that will be my guarantor?
4 "For You have kept their heart from understanding, Therefore You will not exalt them.
5 "He who informs against friends for a share of the spoil, The eyes of his children also will languish.
6 "But He has made me a byword of the people, And I am one at whom men spit.
7 "My eye has also grown dim because of grief, And all my members are as a shadow.
8 "The upright will be appalled at this, And the innocent will stir up himself against the godless.
9 "Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.
10 "But come again all of you now, For I do not find a wise man among you.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
