"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 worth nothing?"

I am as one mocked by his neighbor, who calleth upon God, and He answereth him; the just and 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,

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 they told you that there would be mockers in the last times who would 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 in this epistle, note that man and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.

sound speech which cannot be condemned, that he that is of a contrary mind may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
