Job 12:6

Justice

4 I am a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God, and He answered. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.

5 The one at ease scorns misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.

The tents of robbers are safe, and those who provoke God are secure— those who carry their god in their hands.

7 But ask the animals, and they will instruct you; ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you.

8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; let the fish of the sea inform you.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
