Job 12:5

Job's Fourth Speech

⁴ “I am a joke to my friends,
The one who called on God and He answered him;
The just and blameless man is a joke.
⁵ “He who is at ease holds calamity in contempt,
As prepared for those whose feet slip.
⁶ “The tents of the destroyers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure,
Whom God brings into their power.
