    Job 12
    • 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 knows not such things as these?
    • 4   I am as one mocked of his neighbor, who calls on God, and he answers him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
    • 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 brings abundantly.
    • 7   But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell you:
    • 8   Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you: and the fishes of the sea shall declare to you.
    • 9   Who knows not in all these that the hand of the LORD has worked this?
    • 10   In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
    • 11   Does not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
    • 12   With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
    • 13   With him is wisdom and strength, he has counsel and understanding.
    • 14   Behold, he breaks down, and it cannot be built again: he shuts up a man, and there can be no opening.
    • 15   Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up: also 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 counsellors away spoiled, and makes the judges fools.
    • 18   He looses the bond of kings, and girds their loins with a girdle.
    • 19   He leads princes away spoiled, and overthrows the mighty.
    • 20   He removes away the speech of the trusty, and takes away the understanding of the aged.
    • 21   He pours contempt on princes, and weakens the strength of the mighty.
    • 22   He discovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
    • 23   He increases the nations, and destroys them: he enlarges the nations, and straitens them again.
    • 24   He takes away the heart of the chief 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, and he makes them to stagger like a drunken man.

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
