Job 12

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 respondens autem Iob dixit

2 ergo vos estis soli homines et vobiscum morietur sapientia

3 et mihi est cor sicut et vobis nec inferior vestri sum quis enim haec quae nostis ignorat

4 qui deridetur ab amico suo sicut ego invocabit Deum et exaudiet eum deridetur enim iusti simplicitas

5 lampas contempta apud cogitationes divitum parata ad tempus statutum

6 abundant tabernacula praedonum et audacter provocant Deum cum ipse dederit omnia in manibus eorum

7 nimirum interroga iumenta et docebunt te et volatilia caeli et indicabunt tibi

8 loquere terrae et respondebit tibi et narrabunt pisces maris

9 quis ignorat quod omnia haec manus Domini fecerit

10 in cuius manu anima omnis viventis et spiritus universae carnis hominis

11 nonne auris verba diiudicat et fauces comedentis saporem

12 in antiquis est sapientia et in multo tempore prudentia

13 apud ipsum est sapientia et fortitudo ipse habet consilium et intellegentiam

14 si destruxerit nemo est qui aedificet et si incluserit hominem nullus est qui aperiat

15 si continuerit aquas omnia siccabuntur et si emiserit eas subvertent terram

16 apud ipsum est fortitudo et sapientia ipse novit et decipientem et eum qui decipitur

17 adducit consiliarios in stultum finem et iudices in stuporem

18 balteum regum dissolvit et praecingit fune renes eorum

19 ducit sacerdotes inglorios et optimates subplantat

20 commutans labium veracium et doctrinam senum auferens

21 effundit despectionem super principes et eos qui oppressi fuerant relevans

22 qui revelat profunda de tenebris et producit in lucem umbram mortis

23 qui multiplicat gentes et perdet eas et subversas in integrum restituet

24 qui inmutat cor principum populi terrae et decipit eos ut frustra incedant per invium

25 palpabunt quasi in tenebris et non in luce et errare eos faciet quasi ebrios

English Standard Version ESV

1 Then Job answered and said:

2 “No doubt you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.

3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these?

4 I am a laughingstock to my friends; I, who called to God and he answered me, a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.

5 In the thought of one who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; it is ready for those whose feet slip.

6 The tents of robbers are at peace, and those who provoke God are secure, who bring their god in their hand.

7 “But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;

8 or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you.

9 Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?

10 In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.

11 Does not the ear test words as the palate tastes food?

12 Wisdom is with the aged, and understanding in length of days.

13 “With God are wisdom and might; he has counsel and understanding.

14 If he tears down, none can rebuild; if he shuts a man in, none can open.

15 If he withholds the waters, they dry up; if he sends them out, they overwhelm the land.

16 With him are strength and sound wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are his.

17 He leads counselors away stripped, and judges he makes fools.

18 He looses the bonds of kings and binds a waistcloth on their hips.

19 He leads priests away stripped and overthrows the mighty.

20 He deprives of speech those who are trusted and takes away the discernment of the elders.

21 He pours contempt on princes and loosens the belt of the strong.

22 He uncovers the deeps out of darkness and brings deep darkness to light.

23 He makes nations great, and he destroys them; he enlarges nations, and leads them away.

24 He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth and makes them wander in a trackless waste.

25 They grope in the dark without light, and he makes them stagger like a drunken man.
