Job 17:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?

I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor, I who called upon God, and he answered: The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.

Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him?

My friends scoff at me: But mine eye poureth out tears unto God,

Suffer me, and I also will speak; And after that I have spoken, mock on.

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.

And they that passed by railed on him, wagging their heads,

And her rival provoked her sore, to make her fret, because Jehovah had shut up her womb.
