Book 18 Job Chapter 012

 

012:001And Job answered and said,

 

012:002No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

 

012:003But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to
you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

 

012:004I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and
he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

 

012:005He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised
in the thought of him that is at ease.

 

012:006The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God
are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

 

012:007But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the
fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

 

012:008Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes
of the sea shall declare unto thee.

 

012:009Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath
wrought this?

 

012:010In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the
breath of all mankind.

 

012:011Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

 

012:012With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days
understanding.

 

012:013With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and
understanding.

 

012:014Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he
shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

 

012:015Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he
sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

 

012:016With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver
are his.

 

012:017He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges
fools.

 

012:018He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a
girdle.

 

012:019He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.

 

012:020He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the
understanding of the aged.

 

012:021He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength
of the mighty.

 

012:022He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out
to light the shadow of death.

 

012:023He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth
the nations, and straiteneth them again.

 

012:024He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the
earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there
is no way.

 

012:025They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to
stagger like a drunken man.
