chapter_Job_12
Job 12:1: And Job answereth and saith: &#8212; Job 12:2: Truly &#8212; ye are the people, And with you doth wisdom die. Job 12:3: I also have a heart like you, I am not fallen more than you, And with whom is there not like these? Job 12:4: A laughter to his friend I am: 'He calleth to God, and He answereth him,' A laughter is the perfect righteous one. Job 12:5: A torch &#8212; despised in the thoughts of the secure Is prepared for those sliding with the feet. Job 12:6: At peace are the tents of spoilers, And those provoking God have confidence, He into whose hand God hath brought. Job 12:7: And yet, ask, I pray thee, One of the beasts, and it doth shew thee, And a fowl of the heavens, And it doth declare to thee. Job 12:8: Or talk to the earth, and it sheweth thee, And fishes of the sea recount to thee: Job 12:9: 'Who hath not known in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath done this? Job 12:10: In whose hand is the breath of every living thing, And the spirit of all flesh of man.' Job 12:11: Doth not the ear try words? And the palate taste food for itself? Job 12:12: With the very aged is wisdom, And with length of days understanding. Job 12:13: With Him are wisdom and might, To him are counsel and understanding. Job 12:14: Lo, He breaketh down, and it is not built up, He shutteth against a man, And it is not opened. Job 12:15: Lo, He keepeth in the waters, and they are dried up, And he sendeth them forth, And they overturn the land. Job 12:16: With Him are strength and wisdom, His the deceived and deceiver. Job 12:17: Causing counsellors to go away a spoil, And judges He maketh foolish. Job 12:18: The bands of kings He hath opened, And He bindeth a girdle on their loins. Job 12:19: Causing ministers to go away a spoil And strong ones He overthroweth. Job 12:20: Turning aside the lip of the stedfast, And the reason of the aged He taketh away. Job 12:21: Pouring contempt upon princes, And the girdle of the mighty He made feeble. Job 12:22: Removing deep things out of darkness, And He bringeth out to light death-shade. Job 12:23: Magnifying the nations, and He destroyeth them, Spreading out the nations, and He quieteth them. Job 12:24: Turning aside the heart Of the heads of the people of the land, And he causeth them to wander In vacancy &#8212; no way! Job 12:25: They feel darkness, and not light, He causeth them to wander as a drunkard.
