Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
Job 17 belongs to the debate between Job and his three friends about his afflictions. In verse 2 Job is surrounded by mockers, people who mock him. Their taunting provocation remains constantly before his eyes, continuing without ceasing. Their taunts continually provoke him and leave him in ongoing distress.
