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. 10But as for you all, doe you returne, and come now, for I cannot find one wise man among you.

Wesley's Notes for Job 17:8
17:8 Astonied - At the depth and mysteriousness of God's judgments, which fall on innocent men, while the worst of men prosper. Yet - Notwithstanding all these sufferings of good men, and the astonishment which they cause, he shall the more zealously oppose those hypocrites, who make these strange providences of God an objection to religion.
