A laughing-stock - a righteous man without blame! 5 For ruin, there is contempt, in the thought of the man at ease, - ready, for such as are of faltering foot! 6 At peace are the tents that belong to the spoilers, and there is security to them who provoke GOD, To him who bringeth a god in his hand.
