Job 21:3
Bear with me while I speak; then after I have spoken, you may continue mocking.
-
Ecclesiastes 9:1-3
Indeed, I took all this to heart and explained it all: the righteous, the wise, and their works are in God’s hands. People don’t know whether to expect love or hate. Everything lies ahead of them.Everything is the same for everyone: there is one fate for the righteous and the wicked, for the good and the bad, for the clean and the unclean, for the one who sacrifices and the one who does not sacrifice. As it is for the good, so it is for the sinner; as for the one who takes an oath, so for the one who fears an oath.This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: there is one fate for everyone. In addition, the hearts of people are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live— after that they go to the dead.

Job 19:2-3
How long will you torment me and crush me with words?You have humiliated me ten times now, and you mistreat me without shame.
-
Job 16:3
Is there no end to your empty words? What provokes you that you continue testifying?
-
Ecclesiastes 8:14
There is a futility that is done on the earth: there are righteous people who get what the actions of the wicked deserve, and there are wicked people who get what the actions of the righteous deserve. I say that this too is futile.
-
Job 6:25-29
How painful honest words can be! But what does your rebuke prove?Do you think that you can disprove my words or that a despairing man’s words are mere wind?No doubt you would cast lots for a fatherless child and negotiate a price to sell your friend.But now, please look at me; would I lie to your face?Reconsider; don’t be unjust. Reconsider; my righteousness is still the issue.
-
Job 13:4-9
But you coat the truth with lies; you are all worthless doctors.If only you would shut up and let that be your wisdom!Hear now my argument, and listen to my defense.Would you testify unjustly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?Would you show partiality to Him or argue the case in His defense?Would it go well if He examined you? Could you deceive Him as you would deceive a man?
-
Job 21:28-30
For you say,“ Where now is the nobleman’s house?” and“ Where are the tents the wicked lived in?”Have you never consulted those who travel the roads? Don’t you accept their reports?Indeed, the evil man is spared from the day of disaster, rescued from the day of wrath.
-
Job 26:2-4
How you have helped the powerless and delivered the arm that is weak!How you have counseled the unwise and thoroughly explained the path to success!Who did you speak these words to? Whose breath came out of your mouth?
-
Job 17:2
Surely mockers surround me and my eyes must gaze at their rebellion.
