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 withme?
4 For You have hidden their heart from understanding.Therefore will You not exalt them.
5 He who speaks flattery to his friends,even the eyes of his children will fail.
6 “And He has made me a byword of the people,someone in whose face they spit.
7 My eye also is dim because of sorrow,and all my members are like a shadow.
