Job 12:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 Those who live untroubled lives scorn the misfortunes of others,
the blows that strike those who are already staggering.
6 Yet the tents of robbers remain undisturbed,
and those who provoke God sleep securely
as well as those who make a god of their strength.[a]
7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you;
ask the birds of the air, and they will inform you.
