Job 12:3-5
Common English Bible
3 I am also intelligent;
I’m not inferior to you.
Who isn’t like these people?[a]
4 I’m a joke to friends
who called to God and he answered;

5 a torch[b] of contempt to one who is idle,
a fixed point for slipping feet.

5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
