I am a laughingstock to my neighbors.
    I am one who calls on Eloah and expects an answer.
    A man of integrity, a man who is righteous, has become a laughingstock.

But robbers’ tents are prosperous,
    and there is security for those who provoke El,
        for those whose god is their power.[a]
