Translations
"The person living at ease treats disaster with contempt — holds it up like a worthless torch — until the moment your own foot slips."
"For the comfortable, calamity is something to be scorned — a torch held in contempt — ready to be thrust at those whose foot slips."
He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
The one at ease scorns misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
