Job 17:2

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

If not mockings with me? and shall not mine eye lodge in their bitterness?

See the chapter Copy

My friends mocking me: to God mine eye wept.

I shall be he laughing at his neighbor, calling to God, and he will answer him: the just blameless one being laughed at

He dwelling in the covering of the Most High, in the shadow of the Almighty shall he lodge.

His soul shall lodge in good, and his seed shall inherit the earth.

Suffer me and I will speak; and after my word ye will mock

Is it good that he shall search you out?, or as he mocking against a man; will ye mock against him?

Shall thy empty talks cause men to be silent? and wilt thou deride and none making ashamed?

He set me for a parable of the peoples, and I shall be one spit upon to the face.

Behold, all ye yourselves saw; and wherefore this, will ye breathe out vanity?
