Job 17:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.

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

My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,

Allow me, and I also will speak; After I have spoken, mock on.

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

Those who passed by blasphemed him, wagging their heads,

Her rival taunted her severely, to irritate her, because the LORD had shut up her womb.
