Job 12:4-6
New King James Version
4 “I(A) am one mocked by his friends,
Who (B)called on God, and He answered him,
The just and blameless who is ridiculed.
5 A [a]lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease;
It is made ready for (C)those whose feet slip.
6 (D)The tents of robbers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure—
In what God provides by His hand.

21st Century King James Version
4 I am as one mocked by his neighbor, who calleth upon God, and He answereth him; the just and upright man is laughed to scorn.
5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure, into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
