Job 30:9

Tree of Life Version

“So now I have become their taunt song; I have become a byword to them.

See the chapter Copy

Look at them, sitting or standing, they mock me in their song.

He has made me a byword to people, I am the one in whose face people spit.

I have become a laughing stock to all my people, their song all day long.

You made us a taunt for our neighbors, a scorn and ridicule for those around us.

“I have become a laughingstock to my friend, though I called on God and He answered— a righteous and blameless man is a laughingstock!

A senseless and nameless brood, they were cast out from the land.

All our enemies opened their mouth wide against us.

Adonai, You enticed me, so I was enticed. You overpowered me, and prevailed. I am a laughingstock all day long. Everyone mocks me.
