Job 17:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

Thus, he that calleth upon God, and whom God heareth, is mocked of his neighbour; the godly and innocent man is laughed to scorn.

Shall that help you, when he calleth you to reckoning? Think ye to beguile him, as a man is beguiled?

My friends laugh me to scorn, but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

Suffer me a little, that I may speak also, and then laugh my words to scorn, if ye will.

I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother; I went heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

They that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads

And thereto her enemy Peninnah vexed her a good in casting her in the teeth how the LORD had made her barren.
