Job 17:7 Context
5Hee that speaketh flattery to his friends, euen the eyes of his children shall faile. 6He hath made me also a by-word of the people, and afore time I was as a tabret. 7Mine eye also is dimme by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow. 8Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stirre vp himselfe against the hypocrite. 9The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath cleane hands shalbe stronger, and stronger.
