Then Job answered and said:
2
“No doubt you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.
3
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these?
4
I am a laughingstock to my friends; I, who called to God and he answered me, a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.
