Job 12:5–6

5 Those who are at ease have contempt for misfortune

as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.

6 The tents of marauders are undisturbed,

and those who provoke God are secure—

those God has in his hand.

5 He that is ready to slip with his feet

Is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper,

And they that provoke God are secure;

Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

5 People who are at ease mock those in trouble.

They give a push to people who are stumbling.

6 But robbers are left in peace,

and those who provoke God live in safety—

though God keeps them in his power.

5 A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease;

It is made ready for those whose feet slip.

6 The tents of robbers prosper,

And those who provoke God are secure—

In what God provides by His hand.

5 Those who are comfortable don’t care that others have trouble;

they think it right that those people should have troubles.

6 The tents of robbers are not bothered,

and those who make God angry are safe.

They have their god in their pocket.

5 In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune;

It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.

6 The tents of robbers prosper,

And they that provoke God are secure;

Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

5 He that is ready to stumble with the foot is a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

6 The tents of desolators are in peace, and they that provoke •God are secure; into whose hand †God bringeth.

5 “A person who has an easy life has no appreciation for misfortune. 

He thinks it is the fate of those who slip up. 

6 ⸤But⸥ robbers’ tents are prosperous, 

and there is security for those who provoke God, 

for those whose god is their power. 

5 The one who is at ease holds calamity in contempt

and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.

6 The tents of robbers are safe,

and those who provoke God are secure;

God’s power provides this.

5 Those at ease have contempt for misfortune,

but it is ready for those whose feet are unstable.

6 The tents of robbers are at peace,

and those who provoke God are secure,

who bring their god in their hands.

5 Those at ease have contempt for the thought of disaster,

but it is ready for those unstable of foot.

6 The tents of the destroyers are at peace,

and there is security for those who provoke God,

for those whom God brings into his hand.

5 People who have an easy life look down on those who have problems.

They think trouble comes only to those whose feet are slipping.

6 Why doesn’t anyone bother the tents of robbers?

Why do those who make God angry remain secure?

They carry the statues of their gods in their hands!

5 “He who is at ease holds calamity in contempt,

As prepared for those whose feet slip.

6 “The tents of the destroyers prosper,

And those who provoke God are secure,

Whom God brings into their power.
