Job 17

Job 17:1

17:1-12 As Job, broken in spirit, teeters on the edge of the grave, his friends mock him. He wants God alone to try his case because his critics have proven themselves of no use. The Lord has made him an object of contempt. Upright men who see his condition will rise up against his critics, while he continues to protest his integrity. He cannot find one wise man among his three antagonists. 17:13-16 There is nothing left for Job but the grave with its darkness, corruption, and worms.
