Death Is Near; Job Demands a Surety

Job 17:1-5

My spirit hath been destroyed, My days extinguished--graves are for me.

If not--mockeries are with me. And in their provocations mine eye lodgeth.

Place, I pray Thee, my pledge with Thee; Who is he that striketh hand with me?

For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding, Therefore Thou dost not exalt them.

For a portion he sheweth friendship, And the eyes of his sons are consumed.
