Job 12:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 I am a (A)joke to [a]my friends,
The one who called on God and He answered him;
The just and (B)blameless man is a joke.
5 [b]He who is at ease holds disaster in contempt,
As prepared for those whose feet slip.
6 The (C)tents of the destroyers prosper,
And those who provoke God (D)are secure,
[c]Whom God brings (E)into their power.
Job 12:4-6
Common English Bible
4 I’m a joke to friends
who called to God and he answered;
the innocent and blameless one is a joke,
5 a torch[a] of contempt to one who is idle,
a fixed point for slipping feet.
Proverbial wisdom
6 Raiders’ tents are prosperous
and God’s provokers secure,
who carry God in their hands.[b]
