Job 21:3
Put up with me while I speak. After I’ve spoken, you can make fun of me!

Ecclesiastes 9:1-3
I thought about all these things. I realized that those who are wise and do what is right are under God’s control. What they do is also under his control. But no one knows whether they will be loved or hated.Everyone will die someday. Death comes to godly and sinful people alike. It comes to good and bad people alike. It comes to“ clean” and“ unclean” people alike. Those who offer sacrifices and those who don’t offer them also die. A good person dies, and so does a sinner. Those who make promises die. So do those who are afraid to make them.Here’s what is so bad about everything that happens on this earth. Death catches up with all of us. Also, the hearts of people are full of evil. They live in foolish pleasure. After that, they join those who have already died.

Job 19:2-3
“ How long will you people make me suffer? How long will you crush me with your words?You have already accused me many times. You have attacked me without feeling any shame.

Job 16:3
Your speeches go on forever. Won’t they ever end? What’s wrong with you? Why do you keep on arguing?
-
Ecclesiastes 8:14
Here’s something else on this earth that doesn’t have any meaning. Sometimes godly people get what sinful people should receive. And sinful people get what godly people should receive. Here’s what I’m telling you. That doesn’t have any meaning either.

Job 6:25-29
Honest words are so painful! But your reasoning doesn’t prove anything.Are you trying to correct what I’m saying? Are you treating my hopeless words like nothing but wind?You would even cast lots for those whose fathers have died. You would even trade away your closest friend.“ But now please look at me. Would I tell you a lie right here in front of you?Stop what you are saying. Don’t be so unfair. Think it over again. You are trying to take my honesty away from me.

Job 13:4-9
But you spread lies about me and take away my good name. If you are trying to heal me, you aren’t very good doctors!I wish you would keep your mouths shut! Then people would think you were wise.Listen to my case. Listen as I make my appeal.Will you say evil things in order to help God? Will you tell lies for him?Do you want to be on God’s side? Will you argue his case for him?Would it turn out well if he looked you over carefully? Could you fool him as you might fool human beings?

Job 21:28-30
You are saying to yourselves,‘ Where is the great man’s house now? Where are the tents where his evil family lived?’Haven’t you ever asked questions of those who travel? Haven’t you paid any attention to their stories?They’ll tell you that sinful people are spared from the day of trouble. They’ll say that those people are saved from the day when God will judge.
-
Job 26:2-4
“ Bildad, you haven’t helped people who aren’t strong! You haven’t saved people who are weak!You haven’t offered advice to those who aren’t wise! In fact, you haven’t understood anything at all!Who helped you say these things? Whose spirit was speaking through you?

Job 17:2
People who make fun of me are all around me. I’m forced to watch as they attack me with their words.
