1 “My spirit is consumed.My days are extinct,And the grave is ready for me.
2 Surely there are mockers with me.My eye dwells on their provocation.
3 “Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself.Who is there who will strike hands with me?
4 For you have hidden their heart from understanding,Therefore you shall not exalt them.
5 He who denounces his friends for plunder,Even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6 “But he has made me a byword of the people.They spit in my face.
7 My eye also is dim by reason of sorrow.All my members are as a shadow.
