³ Should your babble put others to silence,
    and when you mock, shall no one shame you?^(A)

² Surely there are mockers around me,
    and my eye dwells on their provocation.^(A)

¹⁷ I did not sit in the company of merrymakers,
    nor did I rejoice;
under the weight of your hand I sat alone,
    for you had filled me with indignation.^(A)

¹⁶ Fill their faces with shame,
    so that they may seek your name, O Lord.

¹⁶ they impiously mocked more and more,^[a]
    gnashing at me with their teeth.

⁷ Who is there like Job,
    who drinks up scoffing like water,^(A)

²⁵ If it is not so, who will prove me a liar
    and show that there is nothing in what I say?”
