Job 12:1-5 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. Then Job answered and said,

2. No doubt but ye are the people, And wisdom shall die with you.

3. But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

4. I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor, I who called upon God, and he answered: The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.

5. In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.
