Job 17:3 in Context — Job 17

1 Meu espírito está arruinado, meus dias vão se extinguindo, e a sepultura já etá pronta para mim.

2 Comigo há ninguém além de zombadores, e meus olhos são obrigados a ficar diante de suas provocações.

3 Concede-me, por favor, uma garantia para comigo; quem [outro] há que me dê a mão?

4 Pois aos corações deles tu encobriste do entendimento; portanto não os exaltarás.

5 Aquele que denuncia a seus amigos em proveito próprio, também os olhos de seus filhos desfalecerão.
