Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

I the LORD search the heart, {I} try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, {and} according to the fruit of his doings.

Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

{Are there} not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation? {continue: Heb. lodge}

Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest your bands be made strong: for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption, even determined upon the whole earth.

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

With him {is} strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver {are} his.

My desire {is that} Job may be tried unto the end because of {his} answers for wicked men. {My...: or, My father, let Job be tried}

With him {is} strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver {are} his.

Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed? {lies: or, devices}

{Are there} not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation? {continue: Heb. lodge}

Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.

Likewise also the chief priests mocking {him}, with the scribes and elders, said,

And they smote him on the head with a reed, and did spit upon him, and bowing {their} knees worshipped him.
