King James Version
"I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn."
— Job 12:4, King James Version
“I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor, I who called upon God, and he answered: The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock. ”
“I 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.”
“I am a laughingstock to my friends, I, who called on God and whom he answered– a righteous and blameless man is a laughingstock!”
“He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.”
“It seems that I am to be as one who is a cause of laughing to his neighbour, one who makes his prayer to God and is answered! the upright man who has done no wrong is to be made sport of!”
“I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.”
And Job answered and said,

But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
