Job 12:4-6
Legacy Standard Bible
4 I am a (A)laughingstock to [a]my friends,
The one who called on God and He answered him;
The righteous and (B)blameless man is a laughingstock.
5 [b]As for upheaval, there is only contempt by the one who acts at ease,
But it is prepared for those whose feet slip.
6 The (C)tents of the destroyers are complacent,
And those who provoke God (D)are secure,
[c]Whom God brings (E)into their power.
Job 12:4-6
American Standard Version
4 I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor,
I who called upon God, and he answered:
The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.
5 In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune;
It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.
6 The tents of robbers prosper,
And they that provoke God are secure;
[a]Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
