Job 12:3-5
Lexham English Bible

3 I also have insight[a] like you;[b]
I am not more inferior than you.[c]
And who does not know things like these?[d]
4 I am a laughingstock to my friends:[e]
‘He calls on God, and he answers him.’
A righteous, blameless man is a laughingstock.
5 Those at ease have contempt[f] for the thought of disaster,[g]
but it is ready for those unstable of foot.
