5 He denounces his friends for gain,and his children’s eyes fail.
6 He makes me a popular proverb;I’m like spit in people’s faces.
7 My eye is weak from grief;my limbs like a shadow—all of them.
8 Those who do the right thing are amazed at this;the guiltless become troubled about the godless.
9 The innocent clings to his way;the one whose hands are clean grows stronger.
10 But you can bring all of them again,and I won’t find a wise one among you.
11 My days have passed;my goals are destroyed, my heart’s desires.
