Job 12:5

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

The one at ease scorns misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.

In context

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.
