2 “You really think you are the only wise peopleand that when you die, wisdom will die with you!
3 But my mind is as good as yours;you are not better than I am.Everyone knows all these things.
4 My friends all laugh at mewhen I call on God and expect him to answer me;they laugh at me even though I am right and innocent!
5 Those who are comfortable don’t care that others have trouble;they think it right that those people should have troubles.
6 The tents of robbers are not bothered,and those who make God angry are safe.They have their god in their pocket.
7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you,or ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you.
8 Speak to the earth, and it will teach you,or let the fish of the sea tell you.
