Job 17:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

I am a laughing-stock to his friends; who calls on God, and He answers him; the just, the upright one is a mockery;

Is it good that He should search you out? Or as one man mocks another, do you mock Him?

My friends scorn me; my eye pours out tears to God.

Rise with me and I shall speak; and after I have spoken, mock on.

As a friend, as to my brother, I walked; as one who mourns for a mother, I was bowed down, mourning.

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, shaking their heads,

And her foe also provoked her grievously, in order to make her tremble, because Jehovah had shut up her womb.
