Job 12:3-5
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
3But I have intelligence as well as you; I am not inferior to you. And who does not know such things as these? 4I 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.King James Version
Chapter 12
3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these? 4I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn. 5He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 12
3But I also have a mind like you; I am not inferior to you. Who doesn't know the things you are talking about? 4I am a laughingstock to my friends, by calling on God, who answers me. The righteous and blameless man is a laughingstock. 5The one who is at ease holds calamity in contempt and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.New Living Translation
Chapter 12
3Well, I know a few things myself — and you’re no better than I am. Who doesn’t know these things you’ve been saying? 4Yet 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. 5People who are at ease mock those in trouble. They give a push to people who are stumbling.English Standard Version
Chapter 12
3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these? 4I am a laughingstock to my friends; I, who called to God and he answered me, a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock. 5In the thought of one who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; it is ready for those whose feet slip.New International Version
Chapter 12
3But I have a mind as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know all these things? 4I have become a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God and he answered-- a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless! 5Those who are at ease have contempt for misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.New King James Version
