Job 11:3 - Exposition

Should thy lies make men hold their peace? or, thy boastings (see the Revised Version; and comp. Isaiah 16:5 ; Jeremiah 48:30 ). Zophar probably refers to such passages as Job 9:20 , Job 9:35 ; Job 10:7 , Job 10:15 , where Job might seem to have justified himself altogether. And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed I It is not quite easy to see what in Job's speeches up to this point could be regarded as "mocking." But perhaps Zophar would have thus characterized the following passages: Job 6:13 , Job 6:14 , Job 6:25-27 ; Job 7:12 ; Job 9:22-24 .
