Job 12 (TRV)
From Textus Receptus
- 1 And Job answered and said:
- 2 No doubt but you 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 does not know such things as these?
- 4 I am as one mocked by his friend, who calls on God, and he answers Him, the just and upright man is mocked.
- 5 He that is preparing to slide with his feet, is like an irritating flame in the thought of him that is secure.
- 6 The tents of robbers prosper, and those who provoke God are secure- in whatever God brings bountifully to their hand.
- 7 But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; and the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
- 8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will explain to you.
- 9 Who in all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?
- 10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
- 11 Does not the ear test words and the mouth taste it food?
- 12 With the aged men is wisdom; and with length of days, understanding.
- 13 With Him is wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding.
- 14 Behold, He breaks a thing down, and it cannot be rebuilt; He incarcerates a man, and there can be no release.
- 15 Behold, He withholds the waters, and they dry up; if He sends them out, then they overturn the earth.
- 16 With Him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are His.
- 17 He leads counselors away plundered, and makes the judges fools.
- 18 He unties the bonds of kings, and binds their waist with a belt.
- 19 He leads princes away plundered, and overthrows the mighty.
- 20 He takes away the speech of trusted people, and takes away the understanding of the elders.
- 21 He pours contempt on princes, and weakens the strength of the mighty.
- 22 He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings the shadow of death to light.
- 23 He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and leads them dispersed again.
- 24 He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a pathless wilderness.
- 25 They grope in the dark without light, and he makes them to stagger like a drunken man.
