Job 12:4-6
World English Bible
4 I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor,
I, who called on God, and he answered.
The just, the blameless man is a joke.
5 In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune.
It is ready for them whose foot slips.
6 The tents of robbers prosper.
Those who provoke God are secure,
who carry their god in their hands.
Job 12:4-6
English Standard Version
4 I am (A)a laughingstock to my friends;
I, who (B)called to God and he answered me,
a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.
5 In the thought of one who is (C)at ease there is contempt for misfortune;
it is ready for those whose feet slip.
6 (D)The tents of robbers are at peace,
and those who provoke God are secure,
who bring their god in their hand.[a]
