Job 21:3

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

They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.

Are there not mockers with me? and does not my eye continue in their provocation?

My friends scorn me: but my eye pours out tears unto God.

I am as one mocked of his neighbor, who calls upon God, and he answers him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

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

Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold your peace, and I will speak.

Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
