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
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]
