1599 Geneva Bible: "Mock on"

Job 19:25-26 “for I am sure that my (i)Redeemer liveth, and he shall stand the last on the earth. And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet shall I see God (ii) in my flesh.”

i. I do not justify myself before the world, but I know that I shall come before the great Judge, who shall be my deliverer and Savior.
ii. Here Job declares plainly that he had a full hope, that both the body and the soul should enjoy the presence of God in the last resurrection.

Job 20:12-14 “When wickedness was (iii)sweet in his mouth, and he hid it under his tongue, and and favored it, and would not forsake it, but kept it close in his mouth, then his meat in his bowels was turned: the gall of Asps was in the midst of him.”

iii. It is like poison that is sweet in the mouth, but it brings destruction when it enters into the body: so to is all vice that is first pleasant, but afterward God turns it to destruction.

[At this point all of Job's accusers have in turn charged him with wrong and he has refuted them at every point and yet they persist, so here he begins another defense of which he knows they will not listen to . . . ]
Job 21:3 “Suffer me that I may speak, and when I have spoken, mock on.”
