Job 12:4-6  Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

4 I am a laughing-stock to my[a] friends,
by calling on God, who answers me.[b]
The righteous and blameless man is a laughing-stock.(A)
5 The one who is at ease(B) holds calamity in contempt
and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.
6 The tents of robbers are safe,(C)
and those who trouble God are secure;
God holds them in his hands.[c](D)
