Our blessed Saviour (upon whom contempt and scorn was to vent it self all manner of ways he being to bear all that scorn, as well as all that pain which was due to our sins, our blessed Saviour, I say) was scorned this way (Matth 27.39.) And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads. So then to shake, or wag the head at a man in affliction, speaks, as sometimes our pity, so most times, our contempt; and as it is usually accompanied with audible mockings, so it self is a visible mock: Which being interpreted, speaks thus to the person afflicted, Thou evil-doer, or thou hypocrite, thou doest even well become thy sufferings, all these miseries are well bestowed on thee, &c.

And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads. So then to shake, or wagg the head at a man in affliction, speakes, as sometimes our pity, so most times, our contempt; and as it is usually accompanyed with audible mockings, so it selfe is a visible mock: Which being interpreted, speakes thus to the person afflicted, Thou evill-doer, or thou hypocrite, thou doest even well become thy sufferings, all these miseries are well bestowed on thee, &c.
In this sense Job seems to speak here, I could shake my head at you: I have indeed been as one mocked of his Friend (Chap. 12.4.) and I could mock my Friends, I could laugh at your calamity, and mock when your fear cometh; but my conscience bears witness with me, that if it should come, I would not.
