Job 17:3-5

Easy-to-Read Version

³ “God, give me some support.
    No one else will!
⁴ You have closed my friends’ minds,
    and they don’t understand.
    Please don’t let them win.
⁵ You know what people say:
    ‘A man neglects his own children to help his friends.’^[a]
    But my friends have turned against me.
