Job 12:4-6
Amplified Bible
4
“I am a joke to my friends;
I, one whom God answered when he called upon Him—
A just and blameless man is a joke [and laughed to scorn].
5
“He who is at ease has contempt for misfortune,
But misfortune is ready [and anxiously waiting] for those whose feet slip.
6
“The tents of the destroyers prosper;
And those who provoke God are [apparently] secure,
Whom God brings into their power.
Job 12:4-6

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.
