Job 17:2

King James 2000

Are there not mockers with me? and does not my eye continue in their provocation?

See the chapter Copy

My friends scorn me: but my eye pours out tears unto God.

I am as one mocked of his neighbor, who calls upon God, and he answers him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

He that dwells in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

His soul shall dwell at ease; and his descendants shall inherit the earth.

Bear with me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.

Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocks another, do you so mock him?

Should your lies make men hold their peace? and when you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?

He has made me also a byword of the people; and I was as one before whom men spit.

Behold, all you yourselves have seen it; why then are you thus altogether vain?
