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.

¹⁸ Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.

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

30 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

⁹ And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

¹³ They gaped upon me with their mouths, as a ravening and a roaring lion.

¹² They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.

⁵¹ The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
