Job 17:1-3

Expanded Bible

17 My spirit is broken;
    the days of my life are ·almost gone [extinguished].
    The grave is ·waiting [ready] for me.
² Those who ·laugh [mock; scoff] at me surround me;
    ·I watch them insult me [^LMy eye dwells/lodges on their obstinate behavior].

³ “·God, make me a promise [^LMake a pledge for me with yourself].
    ·No one will make a pledge for me [^LWho else will clap hands with me; ^Ca gesture that seals an agreement].
