Job 21:3

Suffer me that I may speak; and after 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 against me.

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

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

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?

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

Mark well, O Job, hearken to me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

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