job 12

1 - Then Job answered,
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 doesn't know such things as these?
4 - I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor,I, who called on God, and he answered.The just, the blameless man is a joke.
5 - In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune.It is ready for them whose foot slips.
6 - The tents of robbers prosper.Those who provoke God are secure,who carry their God in their hands.
7 - "But ask the animals, now, and they shall teach you;the birds of the sky, and they shall tell you.
8 - Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you.The fish of the sea shall declare to you.
9 - Who doesn't know that in all these,The LORD's hand has done this,
10 - in whose hand is the life of every living thing,and the breath of all mankind?
11 - Doesn't the ear try words,even as the palate tastes its food?
12 - With aged men is wisdom,in length of days understanding.
13 - "With God is wisdom and might.He has counsel and understanding.
14 - Behold, he breaks down, and it can't be built again.He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
15 - Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up.Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
16 - With him is strength and wisdom.The deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 - He leads counselors away stripped.He makes judges fools.
18 - He loosens the bond of kings.He binds their waist with a belt.
19 - He leads priests away stripped,and overthrows the mighty.
20 - He removes the speech of those who are trusted,and takes away the understanding of the elders.
21 - He pours contempt on princes,and loosens the belt of the strong.
22 - He uncovers deep things out of darkness,and brings out to light the shadow of death.
23 - He increases the nations, and he destroys them.He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.
24 - He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth,and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
25 - They grope in the dark without light.He makes them stagger like a drunken man.
