Job 12:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 (A)I am [a]as one mocked of his neighbor, who calleth upon God, and he [b]heareth him: the just and the upright is laughed to scorn.
5 [c]He that is ready to fall, is as a lamp despised in the opinion of the rich.
6 The tabernacles of robbers do prosper, and they are in safety, that provoke God, [d]whom God hath enriched with his hand.

4 “I have become a laughingstock(A) to my friends,(B)
though I called on God and he answered(C)—
a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!(D)
5 Those who are at ease have contempt(E) for misfortune
as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.(F)

and those who provoke God are secure(H)—
