Job 17:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

A laughter to his friend I am: 'He calleth to God, and He answereth him,' A laughter is the perfect righteous one.

Is it good that He doth search you, If, as one mocketh at a man, ye mock at Him?

My interpreter is my friend, Unto God hath mine eye dropped:

Bear with me, and I speak, And after my speaking -- ye may deride.

As if a friend, as if my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.

and those passing by were speaking evil of him, wagging their heads,

and her adversity hath also provoked her greatly, so as to make her tremble, for Jehovah hath shut up her womb.
