Death Is Near; Job Demands a Surety
1
My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, The grave isreadyfor me.
2
Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation.
3
Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike hands with me?
4
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
5
He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.
