“Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?”
Zophar questions whether Job's boasts would silence others and whether he should mock without response, suggesting that Job's claims to innocence amount to boasting and mocking of divine justice. The charge of mockery escalates the rhetoric: Job is not merely complaining but is actively deriding God. The question implies that Zophar intends to provide that response.
