King James Version with Apocrypha
"He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease."
— Job 12:5, King James Version with Apocrypha
“He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.”
“In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; It is ready for them whose foot slippeth. ”
“In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.”
“For calamity, there is derision(according to the ideas of the fortunate)– a fate for those whose feet slip!”
“The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed.”
“In the thought of him who is in comfort there is no respect for one who is in trouble; such is the fate of those whose feet are slipping.”
No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
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:
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
