I am as one mocked of his neighbour,
who calleth upon God, and he answereth him:
the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
He that is ready to slip with his feet
is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
The tabernacles of robbers prosper,
and they that provoke God are secure;
into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor,
I who called upon God, and he answered:
The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.
In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune;
It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.
The tents of robbers prosper,
And they that provoke God are secure;
[a]Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
