3 But I have intelligence as well as you;I do not fall short of you;for who does not know such things as these?
4 I have become the sport of my neighbors:“The one whom God answers when he calls upon him,The just, the perfect man,” is a laughingstock;
5 The undisturbed esteem my downfall a disgracesuch as awaits unsteady feet;
6 Yet the tents of robbers are prosperous,and those who provoke God are secure,whom God has in his power.
7 But now ask the beasts to teach you,the birds of the air to tell you;
8 Or speak to the earth to instruct you,and the fish of the sea to inform you.
9 Which of all these does not knowthat the hand of God has done this?
