Job 12:4-6
New International Version
4 “I have become a laughingstock(A) to my friends,(B)
though I called on God and he answered(C)—
a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!(D)
5 Those who are at ease have contempt(E) for misfortune
as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.(F)
6 The tents of marauders are undisturbed,(G)
and those who provoke God are secure(H)—
those God has in his hand.[a]

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]
