Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
Should thy lies make men hold their peace? - "lies" - rather, vain boasting х badiym (H907)] (Isaiah 16:6; Jeremiah 48:30). The "men" is emphatic; men of sense х mªtiym (H4962)], in antithesis to 'vain boasting.'
When thou mockest - upbraidest God by complaints that, though knowing thee to be innocent, He yet punishes thee as guilty.
