Job Presents The Actions Of The Mockers

Job 30:9-15

[9] And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword. [10] They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face. [11] Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me. [12] Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction. [13] They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper. [14] They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me. [15] Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

Job 30:7

Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

Job 17:2

• Persecution

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

Job 17:5

He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

Psalms 1:1

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

Jeremiah 15:17

I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.

Job 17:3

Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?

Job 17:6

He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.

• Job
• Family
• Parents

And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
