And JobH347 answeredH6030 and said,H559
2
NoH551 doubtH551 but you are the people,H5971 and wisdomH2451 shall dieH4191 with you.
3
But I have understandingH3824 as wellH1571 as you; I amH1961 not inferiorH5307 to you: yes, whoH4310 knowsH854 not suchH3644 things as these?H428
4
I am as one mockedH7832 of his neighbor,H7453 who callsH7121 on God,H433 and he answersH6030 him: the justH6662 uprightH8549 man is laughedH7832 to scorn.
5
He that is readyH3559 to slipH4571 with his feetH7272 is as a lampH3940 despisedH937 in the thoughtH6248 of him that is at ease.H7600
6
The tabernaclesH168 of robbersH7703 prosper,H7951 and they that provokeH7264 GodH410 are secure;H987 into whoseH834 handH3027 GodH433 bringsH935 abundantly.
7
But askH7592 nowH4994 the beasts,H929 and they shall teachH3384 you; and the fowlsH5775 of the air,H8064 and they shall tellH5046 you:
8
OrH176 speakH7878 to the earth,H776 and it shall teachH3384 you: and the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220 shall declareH5608 to you.
9
WhoH4310 knowsH3045 not in allH3605 theseH428 that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 has workedH6213 this?H2063
10
In whoseH834 handH3027 is the soulH5315 of everyH3605 livingH2416 thing, and the breathH7307 of allH3605 mankind.H1320 H376
11
Does not the earH241 tryH974 words?H4405 and the mouthH2441 tasteH2938 his meat?H400
12
With the ancientH3453 is wisdom;H2451 and in lengthH753 of daysH3117 understanding.H8394
13
With him is wisdomH2451 and strength,H1369 he has counselH6098 and understanding.H8394
14
Behold,H2005 he breaksH2040 down,H2040 and it cannotH3808 be builtH1129 again: he shutsH5462 up a man,H376 and there can be noH3808 opening.H6605
15
Behold,H2005 he withholdsH6113 the waters,H4325 and they dryH3001 up: also he sendsH7971 them out, and they overturnH2015 the earth.H776
16
With him is strengthH5797 and wisdom:H8454 the deceivedH7683 and the deceiverH7686 are his.
17
He leadsH3212 counsellorsH3289 away spoiled,H7758 and makes the judgesH8199 fools.H1984
18
He loosesH6605 the bondH4148 of kings,H4428 and girdsH631 their loinsH4975 with a girdle.H232
19
He leadsH3212 princesH3548 away spoiled,H7758 and overthrowsH5557 the mighty.H386
20
He removesH5493 away the speechH8193 of the trusty,H539 and takesH3947 away the understandingH2940 of the aged.H2205
21
He poursH8210 contemptH937 on princes,H5081 and weakensH7503 the strengthH4206 of the mighty.H650
22
He discoversH1540 deepH6013 things out of darkness,H2822 and bringsH3318 out to lightH216 the shadowH6757 of death.H6757
23
He increasesH7679 the nations,H1471 and destroysH6 them: he enlargesH7849 the nations,H1471 and straitensH5148 them again.
24
He takesH5493 awayH5493 the heartH3820 of the chiefH7218 of the peopleH5971 of the earth,H776 and causes them to wanderH8582 in a wildernessH8414 where there is noH3808 way.H1870
25
They gropeH4959 in the darkH2822 withoutH3808 light,H216 and he makes them to staggerH8582 like a drunkenH7910 man.
