Job 12:1

Verse 1 of 25. The 12th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

1Then Job answered,

2“No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.

3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?

4I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.

5In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.
