Job 12:6 Context
4I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he answereth him: the iust vpright man is laughed to scorne. 5He that is ready to slippe with his feet, is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. 6The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that prouoke God are secure, into whose hand God bringeth abundantly. 7But aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the foules of the aire, and they shall tell thee. 8Or speake to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare vnto thee.

Wesley's Notes for Job 12:6
12:6 Are secure - Job's friends had all supposed, that wicked men cannot prosper long in the world. This Job opposes, and maintains, that God herein acts as sovereign, and reserves that exact distribution of rewards and punishments for the other world.
