My Witness Is in Heaven — Job 17:1–9

My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct,
The grave is ready for me.

Surely there are mockers with me,
And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation.

Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself;
Who is there that will strike hands with me?

For thou hast hid their heart from understanding:
Therefore shalt thou not exalt them.

He that denounceth his friends for a prey,
Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

But he hath made me a byword of the people;
And they spit in my face.

Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow,
And all my members are as a shadow.

Upright men shall be astonished at this,
And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

Yet shall the righteous hold on his way,
And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.
