Chapter 12

1


 

  And Job answered and said,  

 

 

-

2


 

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

 

 

-

3


 

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

 

 

-

4


 

  I am as one mocked by his neighbor, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is derided.  

 

 

-

5


 

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

 

 

-

6


 

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

 

 

-

7


 

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

 

 

-

8


 

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

 

 

-

9


 

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

 

 

-

10


 

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

 

 

-

11


 

  Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste its food?  

 

 

-

12


 

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

 

 

-

13


 

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

 

 

-

14


 

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

 

 

-

15


 

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

 

 

-

16


 

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

 

 

-

17


 

  He leadeth counselors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.  

 

 

-

18


 

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

 

 

-

19


 

  He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.  

 

 

-

20


 

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

 

 

-

21


 

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

 

 

-

22


 

  He revealeth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth to light the shades of death.  

 

 

-

23


 

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

 

 

-

24


 

  He 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.  

 

 

-

25


 

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