The Morning Psalm

Job 17:5

King James Version

He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
Job 17:5, KJV

Job 17:5 in context

3Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?

4For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.

5He that speaketh flattery to his 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 are as a shadow.
