Job 17:6

Job Says To His Friends: I'M Still Wiser Than You

⁵ “He who informs against friends for a share of the spoil,
The eyes of his children also will languish.
⁶ “But He has made me a byword of the people,
And I am one at whom men spit.
⁷ “My eye has also grown dim because of grief,
And all my members are as a shadow.
