Job 12:2-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
2
'Truly then you are the people,
And with you wisdom will die!
3
But I have intelligence as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
And who does not know such things as these?
4
I am a joke to my friends,
The one who called on God and He answered him;
The just
and
blameless
man
is a joke.
5
He who is at ease holds disaster in contempt,
As prepared for those whose feet slip.
6
The tents of the destroyers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure,
Whom God brings into their power.
7
'But just ask the animals, and have them teach you;
And the birds of the sky, and have them tell you.
King James Version
Chapter 12
2
No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
3
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
4
I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
5
He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
6
The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
7
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 12
2
No doubt you are the people,
and wisdom will die with you!
3
But I also have a mind like you;
I am not inferior to you.
Who doesn’t know the things you are talking about?
4
I am a laughingstock to my friends,
by calling on God, who answers me.
The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.
5
The one who is at ease holds calamity in contempt
and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.
6
The tents of robbers are safe,
and those who trouble God are secure;
God holds them in his hands.
7
But ask the animals, and they will instruct you;
ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
New Living Translation
Chapter 12
2
'You people really know everything, don’t you?
And when you die, wisdom will die with you!
3
Well, I know a few things myself —
and you’re no better than I am.
Who doesn’t know these things you’ve been saying?
4
Yet my friends laugh at me,
for I call on God and expect an answer.
I am a just and blameless man,
yet they laugh at me.
5
People who are at ease mock those in trouble.
They give a push to people who are stumbling.
6
But robbers are left in peace,
and those who provoke God live in safety —
though God keeps them in his power.
7
'Just ask the animals, and they will teach you.
Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
English Standard Version

and wisdom will die with you.
3
But I have understanding as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
Who does not know such things as these?
4
I am a laughingstock to my friends;
I, who called to God and he answered me,
a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.
5
In the thought of one who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune;
it is ready for those whose feet slip.
6
The tents of robbers are at peace,
and those who provoke God are secure,
who bring their god in their hand.
7
"But ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;
New International Version
Chapter 12
2
"Doubtless you are the only people who matter,
and wisdom will die with you!
3
But I have a mind as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
Who does not know all these things?
4
"I have become a laughingstock to my friends,
though I called on God and he answered—
a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!
5
Those who are at ease have contempt for misfortune
as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
6
The tents of marauders are undisturbed,
and those who provoke God are secure—
those God has in his hand.
7
"But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
New King James Version
Chapter 12
2
“No doubt you
are
the people,
And wisdom will die with you!
3
But I have understanding as well as you;
I
am
not inferior to you.
Indeed, who does not
know
such things as these?
4
“I am one mocked by his friends,
Who called on God, and He answered him,
The just and blameless
who is
ridiculed.
5
A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease;
It is
made ready for those whose feet slip.
6
The tents of robbers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure—
In what God provides by His hand.
7
“But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
