Job 12:5-7
New Living Translation

5 People who are at ease mock those in trouble.
    They give a push to people who are stumbling.
6 But robbers are left in peace,
    and those who provoke God live in safety—
    though God keeps them in his power.[a]

7 “Just ask the animals, and they will teach you.
    Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
