2Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation.

3Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike hands with me?

4For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt [them].

5He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

6But he hath made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face.

7Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, And all my members are as a shadow.

8Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.
