New King James Version (NKJV)
Job 16
21 Oh, that one might plead for a man with God, As a man pleads for his neighbor!
22 For when a few years are finished, 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 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?
4 For You have hidden their heart from understanding; Therefore You will not exalt them.
5 He 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.
8 Upright men are astonished at this, And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.
9 Yet the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
