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

² Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?

⁶ He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.

¹⁹ All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.

²¹ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
