What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water;
Should your lies make men silent? And will you mock and no one make you ashamed?
I am a laughing-stock to his friends; who calls on God, and He answers him; the just, the upright one is a mockery;
How much more hateful and filthy is man, who drinks iniquity like water?
But you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold;
How long will you love simplicity, simple ones? And will scorners delight in their scorning? And will fools hate knowledge?
An ungodly witness scorns judgment, and the mouth of the wicked devours iniquity.
For they eat the bread of wickedness and drink the wine of violence.
and it happens when he hears the words of this curse, that he shall bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to snatch away the drunken with the thirsty.
