    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 hand of Yahweh 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.
