Job 12:5

5 It's easy for the well-to-do to point their fingers in blame, for the well-fixed to pour scorn on the strugglers.

Job 12:5 In-Context

3 But don't forget that I also have a brain - I don't intend to play second fiddle to you. It doesn't take an expert to know these things.
4 "I'm ridiculed by my friends: 'So that's the man who had conversations with God!' Ridiculed without mercy: 'Look at the man who never did wrong!'
5 It's easy for the well-to-do to point their fingers in blame, for the well-fixed to pour scorn on the strugglers.

7 "But ask the animals what they think - let them teach you; let the birds tell you what's going on.
