Job 12:1-5 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. Job replied,

2. "You people think you know everything, don't you? You are sure that wisdom will die with you!

3. But I have a brain, just like you. I'm as clever as you are. In fact, everyone knows as much as you do.

4. "My friends laugh at me all the time, even though I called out to God and he answered. My friends laugh at me, even though I'm honest and right.

5. People who have an easy life look down on those who have problems. They think trouble comes only to those whose feet are slipping.
