4 “My friends laugh at me now. They say, ‘He prayed to God and got his answer.’ I am a good, innocent man, but still they laugh at me.
5 Those who have no troubles make fun of those who do. They hit a man when he is down.
6 But robbers’ tents are not bothered. Those who make God angry live in peace, even though God has them in his power.
7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you. Or ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you.
8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you. Or let the fish in the sea tell you their wisdom.
9 Everyone knows that the Lord made these things.
10 Every animal that lives and everyone who breathes— they are all under God’s power.
