Job 17:2

American Standard Version (1901)

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

See the chapter Copy

My friends scoff at me: But mine eye poureth out tears unto God,

I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor, I who called upon God, and he answered: The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land.

Suffer me, and I also will speak; And after that I have spoken, mock on.

Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him?

Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

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

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; Why then are ye become altogether vain?
