Job 17:2–3

⁶And her adversary also provoked her sore, for to make her fret, because the Lord had shut up her womb.

⁷And as he did so year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, so she provoked her; therefore she wept, and did not eat.

⁴I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

²⁰My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.

³⁹¶ And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,

⁴⁰And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.

⁴¹Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

⁴²He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.

⁴³He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

⁴⁴The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.

⁹Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?

³Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.

¹³His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth.

¹⁴I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

¹⁵But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

¹⁶With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

¹HE that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

²²By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

¹⁴Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.

¹⁵He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

⁹I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame for ever:

³²For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever.

¹²²Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

³³Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.

²⁶Be not thou one of them that strike hands, or of them that are sureties for debts.

¹⁸A man void of understanding striketh hands, and becometh surety in the presence of his friend.

¹⁶Take his garment that is surety for a stranger: and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.

¹¹So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.
