Job 12:3-5
New Catholic Bible
3 But I also have intelligence;
I am not inferior to you in this regard.
Who is ignorant of all these things?
4 [a]“I have become a laughingstock to my friends,
I whom God would answer when I called upon him;
although I am innocent and just, he afflicted me.
5 Those who live untroubled lives scorn the misfortunes of others,
the blows that strike those who are already staggering.
