He hath made me as it were a byword of the common people. I am his jesting stock among them.

Now am I their song, and am become their jesting stock;

neither filthiness, neither foolish talking, neither jestings, which are not comely: but rather giving of thanks.

wherefore if I come I will declare his deeds which he doeth, jesting on us with malicious words, neither is therewith content. Not only he himself receiveth not the brethren: but also he forbiddeth them that would, and thrusteth them out of the congregation.

Then clap men their hands at him, yea and jest of him, when they look upon his place.

I put on a sackcloth, and therefore they jested upon me.

And I will make this city so desolate, and despised: that whoso goeth thereby, shall be abashed and jest upon her, because of all her plagues.

Nevertheless, as for the soothsaying, they shall hold it but for vanity; even as though a jest were told them. Yea and they themselves remember their wickedness, so that by right they must be taken and won.
