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

New King James Version NKJV

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. Indeed, who does not know such things as these?

4 "I am one mocked by his friends, Who called on God, and He answered him, The just and blameless who is ridiculed.

5 A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease; It is made ready for those whose feet slip.

6 The tents of robbers prosper, And those who provoke God are secure-- In what God provides by His hand.

7 "But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;

8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you.

9 Who among all these does not know That the hand of the Lord has done this,

10 In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?

11 Does not the ear test words And the mouth taste its food?

12 Wisdom is with aged men, And with length of days, understanding.

13 "With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding.

14 If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt; If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.

15 If He withholds the waters, they dry up; If He sends them out, they overwhelm the earth.

16 With Him are strength and prudence. The deceived and the deceiver are His.

17 He leads counselors away plundered, And makes fools of the judges.

18 He loosens the bonds of kings, And binds their waist with a belt.

19 He leads princes away plundered, And overthrows the mighty.

20 He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders.

21 He pours contempt on princes, And disarms the mighty.

22 He uncovers deep things out of darkness, And brings the shadow of death to light.

23 He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them.

24 He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, And makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.

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