Job 12:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 I am a laughingstock to my[a] friends,
by calling on God, who answers me.[b]
The righteous and blameless man is a laughingstock.(A)
5 The one who is at ease(B) holds calamity in contempt
and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.
6 The tents of robbers are safe,(C)
and those who trouble God are secure;
God holds them in his hands.[c](D)
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]
