Job 12:4-6
Lexham English Bible
4 I am a laughingstock to my friends:[a]
‘He calls on God, and he answers him.’
A righteous, blameless man is a laughingstock.
5 Those at ease have contempt[b] for the thought of disaster,[c]
but it is ready for those unstable of foot.
6 The tents of the destroyers are at peace,
and there is security for those who provoke God,
for those whom God brings into his hand.[d]
Job 12:4-6
New King James Version
4 “I(A) am one mocked by his friends,
Who (B)called on God, and He answered him,
The just and blameless who is ridiculed.
5 A [a]lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease;
It is made ready for (C)those whose feet slip.
6 (D)The tents of robbers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure—
In what God provides by His hand.
