3 “God, make me a promise.No one will make a pledge for me.
4 You have closed their minds to understanding.Do not let them win over me.
5 People might speak against their friends for money,but if they do, the eyes of their children go blind.
6 “God has made my name a curse word;people spit in my face.
7 My sight has grown weak because of my sadness,and my body is as thin as a shadow.
8 Honest people are upset about this;innocent people are upset with those who do wrong.
9 But those who do right will continue to do right,and those whose hands are not dirty with sin will grow stronger.
