Job 30:9

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

And now am I their song, Yea, I am their byword.

See the chapter Copy

Behold their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their musick.

He hath made me also a byword of the people; And aforetime I was as a tabret.

I was a derision to all my people; And their song all the day.

Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, A shaking of the head among the people.

I am as one mocked of his neighbour, Who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: The just upright man is laughed to scorn.

They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: They were viler than the earth.

All our enemies Have opened their mouths against us.

O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.
