1. And Iyoḇ answered and said,
2. “Truly you are the people, and wisdom would die with you!
3. But I, like you, have a heart too; I am not less than you. And who does not know such as these?
4. I have become a laughing-stock to my friends – one who has called on Eloah and He answered him! A laughing-stock is the righteous, the perfect one!
5. A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease – prepared for those whose feet slip.
6. The tents of robbers are at peace, and those who provoke Ěl are complacent, to him who brings Eloah into his hand!
