Job 12:5 - Exposition

He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease ; rather, as in the Revised Version, In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune ; it ( i e. contempt ) is ready for them whose foot dippeth. The meaning is, "I am despised and scorned by you who sit at ease, because my foot has slipped, and I have fallen into misfortune."
