Job Chapter 12

I read Job Chapter 12 today. I read how Job was upset with his friends because he explained that he already knew all that they told him. Job explained that he had become a laughingstock to his friends but that God heard him and answered him. Verse 4 says, " I have become a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God and he answered-a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless." It was painful to read that Jobs friends found him to be a laughingstock. But it was God that heard Job and comforted Him in his pain and misery. God comforted me and showed me that He sees my pain too and that He will answer my cries too.
