Job 12:1 In-Context

1 Iyov responded:
2 "No doubt you are [the only] people [that matter]; and when you die, so will wisdom.
3 But I too have a brain, as much as you, In no way am I inferior to you. Besides, who doesn't know things like these?
4 "Anyone who calls on God, and he answers him, becomes a laughingstock to his friends -they make fun of an innocent, blameless man.
5 Those at ease have contempt for misfortune, for the blow that strikes somebody already staggering.
