JOB C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16 C17 C18 C19 C20 C21 C22 C23 C24 C25 C26 C27 C28 C29 C30 C31 C32 C33 C34 C35 C36 C37 C38 C39 C40 C41 C42
12 Then Job answered and said:
2 Verily ye are the people,
And wisdom shall die with you.
3 But, like you, I have understanding;
Who knoweth not things like these?
4 A laughing-stock to his friend
Is become one whose cry God had answered.
A laughing-stock is the righteous;
The blameless is doomed to disaster.
The man of ease mocks at his fate:
There are thrusts for the feet that are slipping.
6 It is tents of robbers that prosper,
And those who vex God that are safe–
Those who say, "Is not God in my hand?"
7 But inquire of the beasts – they will teach thee;
The birds of the air – they will show thee:
8 The creatures that crawl – they will teach thee;
The fish of the sea – they will tell thee.
9 For which of them all doth not know
That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this–
10 In whose hand are all living souls
And the breath of all humankind?
11 Doth not the ear test words
As the palate tastes food for itself?
12 Doth wisdom depend upon years,
Understanding on length of days?
13 With Him is wisdom and might,
Understanding and counsel are His.
14 See! He breaketh down, and who buildeth?
Imprisons, and none can set free.
15 See! He holds back the floods and they dry;
Then He hurls them on earth and confounds it.
16 With Him is strength and achievement;
Deceived and deceiver are His.
17 The wise men of earth He makes foolish;
The judges He turns into madmen.
18 The fetters kings rivet He loosens,
And binds their own loins with a chain.
19 He leadeth priests barefoot away;
Ancient families He overturneth.
20 He removeth the speech of the trusty;
The elders He robs of discretion.
21 He poureth contempt upon princes;
He looseth the belt of the strong.
22 He revealeth the deep things of darkness,
The gloom-wrapped He bringeth to light.
23 He makes nations great and destroys them;
Expands them, then hurls them to ruin.
24 Earth’s chiefs He bereaves of their judgment;
They wander in trackles wastes,
25 Where they grope in the unit darkness,
And stagger like drunken men.
