Job 12:1-6 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Then Job answered:

2. No doubt you are the people,and wisdom will die with you!

3. But I also have a mind;I am not inferior to you.Who doesn’t know the things you are talking about?

4. I am a laughingstock to my friends,by calling on God, who answers me. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.

5. The one who is at ease holds calamity in contemptand thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.

6. The tents of robbers are safe, and those who provoke God are secure;God’s power provides this.
