Chapter 12

1


 

  When Job answered, and said:  

 

 

-

2


 

  Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you?  

 

 

-

3


 

  I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know?  

 

 

-

4


 

  He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.  

 

 

-

5


 

  The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed.  

 

 

-

6


 

  The tabernacles of robbers abound, and they provoke God boldly; whereas it is he that hath given all into their hands:  

 

 

-

7


 

  But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things?  

 

 

-

10


 

  In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste?  

 

 

-

12


 

  In the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days prudence.  

 

 

-

13


 

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

 

 

-

14


 

  If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a. man, there is none that can open.  

 

 

-

15


 

  If he withhold the waters, all things shall be dried up: and if he send them out, they shall overturn the earth.  

 

 

-

16


 

  With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceiver, and him that is deceived.  

 

 

-

17


 

  He bringeth counsellors to a foolish end, and judges to insensibility.  

 

 

-

18


 

  He looseth the belt of kings, and girdeth their loins with a cord.  

 

 

-

19


 

  He leadeth away priests without glory, and overthroweth nobles.  

 

 

-

20


 

  He changeth the speech of the true speakers, and taketh away the doctrine of the aged.  

 

 

-

21


 

  He poureth contempt upon princes, and relieveth them that were oppressed.  

 

 

-

22


 

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

 

 

-

23


 

  He multiplieth nations, and destroyeth them, and restoreth them again after they were overthrown.  

 

 

-

24


 

  He changeth the heart of the princes of the people of the earth, and deceiveth them that they walk in vain where there is no way.  

 

 

-

25


 

  They shall grope as in the dark, and not in the light, and he shall make them stagger like men that are drunk.
