Job 12:4-6
English Standard Version
4 I am (A)a laughingstock to my friends;
I, who (B)called to God and he answered me,
a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.
5 In the thought of one who is (C)at ease there is contempt for misfortune;
it is ready for those whose feet slip.
6 (D)The tents of robbers are at peace,
and those who provoke God are secure,
who bring their god in their hand.[a]
