Job 12:1 In-Context

1 Then Job answered:

2 No doubt you are the people, and wisdom will die with you!

3 But I also have a mind; I am not inferior to you. Who doesn't know the things you are talking about?

4 I am a laughingstock to my friends, by calling on God, who answers me. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.

5 The one who is at ease holds calamity in contempt [and thinks] it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.
