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 mocked by his neighbor, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is derided.

Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?

My friends scorn me: but my eye poureth out tears to God.

Suffer me that I may speak; and after I have spoken, mock on.

I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

And they that passed by, reviled him, wagging their heads,

And her adversary also provoked her greatly, to make her fret, because the LORD had made her barren.
