Job 12:1 In-Context

1 Then Job answered:
2 "You really think you are the only wise people and that when you die, wisdom will die with you!
3 But my mind is as good as yours; you are not better than I am. Everyone knows all these things.
4 My friends all laugh at me when I call on God and expect him to answer me; they laugh at me even though I am right and innocent!
5 Those who are comfortable don't care that others have trouble; they think it right that those people should have troubles.
