Job Prays for Relief

1 “My spirit is broken,
My days are extinguished,
aThe grave is ready for me. 
2 Are not mockers with me?
And does not my eye1 dwell on their aprovocation? 
3 “Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself.
Who is he who awill shake hands with me? 
4 For You have hidden their heart from aunderstanding;
Therefore You will not exalt them. 
5 He who speaks flattery to his friends,
Even the eyes of his children will afail.

Job 17:3

Surety - These words contain, an humble desire to God that he would be his surety, or appoint him a surety who should maintain his righteous cause against his opposers. Strike hands - Be surety to me; whereof that was the usual gesture.
