1 Then Job answered: 2 “Truly then you are the people with whom wisdom itself will die! 3 But I also have a mind; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these? 4 I am a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God, and He answered. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock. 5 The one at ease scorns misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping. 6 The tents of robbers are safe, and those who provoke God are secure—those who carry their god in their hands. 7 But ask the animals, and they will instruct you; ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you. 8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; let the fish of the sea inform you.
