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.
