Job 30:9

“But he has made me a byword of the people. They spit in my face.

You see their sitting down and their rising up. I am their song.

Yahweh, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I, and have prevailed. I have become a laughingstock all day. Everyone mocks me.

I will even give them up to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth for evil; to be a reproach and a proverb, a taunt and a curse, in all places where I will drive them.

I have become a derision to all my people, and their song all day long.

Allow me, and I also will speak; After I have spoken, mock on.

“But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I considered unworthy to put with my sheep dogs.

I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s place, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you,

When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became a byword to them.

This is the history of the generations of Noah: Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time. Noah walked with God.

then I will cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and I will cast this house, which I have made holy for my name, out of my sight; and Israel will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

then I will pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

So the couriers passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even to Zebulun, but people ridiculed them and mocked them.

Yahweh said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant, Job? For there is no one like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil.”

Please return. Let there be no injustice. Yes, return again. My cause is righteous.

Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, will no man make you ashamed?

I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.

My friends scoff at me. My eyes pour out tears to God,

They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, and don’t hesitate to spit in my face.

All those who see me mock me. They insult me with their lips. They shake their heads, saying,

Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.

You make us a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.

You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

We have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scoffing and derision to those who are around us.

I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head.

For there, those who led us captive asked us for songs. Those who tormented us demanded songs of joy: “Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”

He who walks in his uprightness fears Yahweh, but he who is perverse in his ways despises him.

The harp, lyre, tambourine, and flute, with wine, are at their feasts; but they don’t respect the work of Yahweh, neither have they considered the operation of his hands.

this is the word which Yahweh has spoken concerning him. The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and ridiculed you. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at you.

to make their land an astonishment, and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be astonished, and shake his head.

‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you don’t know.’

For wasn’t Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.

You have made us an off-scouring and refuse in the middle of the peoples.

But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked by the wise men, was exceedingly angry, and sent out, and killed all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all the surrounding countryside, from two years old and under, according to the exact time which he had learned from the wise men.

They braided a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and a reed in his right hand; and they kneeled down before him, and mocked him, saying, “Hail, King of the Jews!”

They ridiculed him. But he, having put them all out, took the father of the child, her mother, and those who were with him, and went in where the child was lying.

They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.

The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.

The people stood watching. The rulers with them also scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others. Let him save himself, if this is the Christ of God, his chosen one!”

Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.
