" Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike hands with me? "
— Job 17:3, American Standard Version
“Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?”
“"Now give a pledge, be collateral for me with yourself. Who is there who will strike hands with me?”
“Set my pledge beside you. Who else will put up security for me?”
“Deliver me, O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man's hand fight against me.”
“Be pleased, now, to be responsible for me to yourself; for there is no other who will put his hand in mine.”
“Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?”
My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, The grave isreadyfor me.
Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation.
Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike hands with me?
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.
But he hath made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face.
