My eyes have grown dim with grief, and my whole body is but a shadow.

Job 17:7 in context

The verses around it, from Job 17.

3 Give me, I pray, the pledge You demand. Who else will be my guarantor?

4 You have closed their minds to understanding; therefore You will not exalt them.

5 If a man denounces his friends for a price, the eyes of his children will fail.

6 He has made me a byword among the people, a man in whose face they spit.

7 My eyes have grown dim with grief, and my whole body is but a shadow.

8 The upright are appalled at this, and the innocent are stirred against the godless.

9 Yet a righteous one holds to his way, and the one with clean hands grows stronger.

10 But come back and try again, all of you. For I will not find a wise man among you.

11 My days have passed; my plans are broken off—even the desires of my heart.
