Daily Bible Reading: Job 17-20

Job 17:1-5 AMP MY SPIRIT is broken, my days are spent (snuffed out); the grave is ready for me. Surely there are mockers and mockery around me, and my eye dwells on their obstinacy, insults, and resistance. Give me a pledge with Yourself [acknowledge my innocence before my death]; who is there that will give security for me? But their hearts [Lord] You have closed to understanding; therefore You will not let them triumph [by giving them a verdict against me]. He who denounces his friends [in order to make them] a prey and get a share, the eyes of his children shall fail [to find food]. ^[1]

Job 19:1-4 (NKJV) Then Job answered and said: "How long will you torment my soul, And break me in pieces with words? These ten times you have reproached me; You are not ashamed that you have wronged me. And if indeed I have erred, My error remains with me.

Job 19: 25 NKJV For I know that my Redeemer lives, And He shall stand at last on the earth;^[2]
