Job 12:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
4 I am a laughingstock to my[a] friends,
by calling on God, who answers me.[b]
The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.(A)
5 The one who is at ease(B) holds calamity in contempt
and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.
6 The tents of robbers are safe,(C)
and those who provoke God are secure;
God’s power provides this.[c](D)
Job 12:4-6
International Standard Version
Job Has Become a Laughingstock
4 “I’m a laughingstock to my friends,
someone[a] who called on God.
But then he answered this upright and blameless man,
and I have become[b] a laughingstock.
5 The carefree are thinking, ‘I have contempt for misfortune,’
Those who are about to stumble deserve it.
6 The tents of robbers are at rest,
and those who provoke God are secure,
that is, those who carry their god in their pocket.[c]
