1. Then Job answered:
2. “You really think you are the only wise people.You think when you die wisdom will die with you.
3. But my mind is as good as yours.You are not better than I am.Everyone knows all these things.
4. My friends all laugh at mewhen I call on God and expect him to answer me.They laugh at me even though I am right and innocent!
5. People who are comfortable don’t care that others have trouble.They think that people who are in trouble should have more troubles.
6. The tents of robbers are not bothered.Those who make God angry are safe.They have their god in their pocket.
7. “But ask the animals, and they will teach you.Or ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you.
8. Speak to the earth, and it will teach you.Or let the fish of the sea tell you.
