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: yea, who knoweth not such
things
as these?
4
I am as one
mocked
of his
neighbour,
who
calleth
upon
God,
and he
answereth
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
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
unto 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
his
meat?
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
counsellors
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
discovereth
deep
things
out of
darkness,
and bringeth
out
to
light
the shadow of
death.
23
He
increaseth
the
nations,
and
destroyeth
them: he
enlargeth
the
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.
