Job 21:3

American Standard Version (1901)

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

See the chapter Copy

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

They have gaped upon me with their mouth; They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully: They gather themselves together against me.

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

Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak; And let come on me what will.

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?

Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your consolations.

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