“I am a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God, and He answered. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.”
Job 12:4 (BSB)
Context Reading
2“Truly then you are the people with whom wisdom itself will die! 3But I also have a mind; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these? 4I am a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God, and He answered. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock. 5The one at ease scorns misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping. 6The tents of robbers are safe, and those who provoke God are secure — those who carry their god in their hands.
