Job 17:5
King James VersionSource notes
“He that speaketh flattery to friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.”
Context
2not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
3Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who he will strike hands with me?
4For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt
5He that speaketh flattery to friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
6He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
7Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members as a shadow.
8Upright shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
