Job 17:1 My breath is corrupt, my dayes are shortened, I am harde at deathes doore. Job 17:2 Froward men are with me, and myne eye must continue in the bitternesse of them.

Job 17:5 He that speaketh flatterie to his friend, the eyes of his children shall fayle. Job 17:6 He hath made me a byworde of the people, where as afore I was their ioy.
