Job 12:5 Context
3But I haue vnderstanding as well as you, I am not inferiour to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these? 4I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he answereth him: the iust vpright man is laughed to scorne. 5He that is ready to slippe with his feet, is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. 6The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that prouoke God are secure, into whose hand God bringeth abundantly. 7But aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the foules of the aire, and they shall tell thee.
