But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?

Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?

And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

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

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

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

What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

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

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.

How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.

And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
