Job Chapter 12 Verses 4‑6:

Job 12: 4 I am a laughingstock to my friends; I, who called to God and he answered me, a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.

（和合本）我成了朋友的笑柄；就是那求告神、神也应允他的，完全正直的人，反倒成了笑柄。

Job 12: 5 In the thought of one who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; it is ready for those whose feet slip.

（和合本）安逸的人心里藐视灾祸；这灾祸常常等待脚步滑跌的人。

Job 12:6 The tents of robbers are at peace, and those who provoke God are secure, who bring their god in their hand.

（和合本）强盗的帐棚兴旺，惹神的人稳固，神多将财物送到他们手中。

【意群划分】

什么是意群（sense group）？意群就是表达一层完整意思的语言片段，通俗地说就是怎样断句，怎样在句子微停顿。朗读应以意群为单位停顿，不要逐词蹦出单词；意群，书面文稿用单/或||表示，但这不是强制停顿。

①斜杠/：小停顿，换气极短，一个意群读完稍歇；

②双斜杠//：分句间较长停顿，区分一层完整语意；标点处一般为//。

Job Chapter 12 Verses 4‑6:

I am a laughingstock / to my friends; / I, / who called to God / and he answered me, / a just and blameless man, / am a laughingstock.

In the thought of one who is at ease / there is contempt for misfortune; / it is ready / for those whose feet slip.

The tents of robbers / are at peace, / and those who provoke God / are secure, / who bring their god in their hand.
