Job 12:4-6
World English Bible
4 I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor,
I, who called on God, and he answered.
The just, the blameless man is a joke.
5 In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune.
It is ready for them whose foot slips.
6 The tents of robbers prosper.
Those who provoke God are secure,
who carry their god in their hands.
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]
