New International Version
Job 12:4-6
New International Version
4 “I have become a laughingstock(A) to my friends,(B)
though I called on God and he answered(C)—
a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!(D)
5 Those who are at ease have contempt(E) for misfortune
as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.(F)
6 The tents of marauders are undisturbed,(G)
and those who provoke God are secure(H)—
those God has in his hand.[a]

Job 12:4-6
New Living Translation
4 Yet my friends laugh at me,
for I call on God and expect an answer.
I am a just and blameless man,
yet they laugh at me.
5 People who are at ease mock those in trouble.
They give a push to people who are stumbling.
6 But robbers are left in peace,
and those who provoke God live in safety—
though God keeps them in his power.[a]
Footnotes
- 12:6 Or safety—those who try to manipulate God. The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain.
