3But I have a mind as well as you; I am equal to you: yes, who has not knowledge of such things as these?
4It 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!
5In 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.
6There is wealth in the tents of those who make destruction, and those by whom God is moved to wrath are safe; even those whose god is their strength.
7But put now a question to the beasts, and get teaching from them; or to the birds of the heaven, and they will make it clear to you;
8Or to the things which go flat on the earth, and they will give you wisdom; and the fishes of the sea will give you news of it.
9Who does not see by all these that the hand of the Lord has done this?
