Job 12

Then Job{H347} answered{H6030} and said,{H559}

No doubt{H551} but ye are the people,{H5971} And wisdom{H2451} shall die{H4191} with you.

But{H1571} I have understanding{H3824} as well as you; I am not inferior{H5307} to you: Yea, who knoweth not such things{H3644} as these?

I am as one that is a laughing-stock{H7814} to his neighbor,{H7453} I who called{H7121} upon God,{H433} and he answered:{H6030} The just,{H6662} the perfect{H8549} man is a laughing-stock.{H7814}

In the thought{H6248} of him that is at ease{H7600} there is contempt{H3940} for misfortune;{H937} It is ready{H3559} for them whose foot{H7272} slippeth.{H4571}

The tents{H168} of robbers{H7703} prosper,{H7951} And they that provoke{H7264} God{H410} are secure;{H987} Into whose hand{H3027} God{H433} bringeth{H935} [abundantly].

But{H199} ask{H7592} now the beasts,{H929} and they shall teach{H3384} thee; And the birds{H5775} of the heavens,{H8064} and they shall tell{H5046} thee:

Or speak{H7878} to the earth,{H776} and it shall teach{H3384} thee; And the fishes{H1709} of the sea{H3220} shall declare{H5608} unto thee.

Who knoweth{H3045} not in all these, That the hand{H3027} of Jehovah{H3068} hath wrought{H6213} this,

In whose hand{H3027} is the soul{H5315} of every living thing,{H2416} And the breath{H7307} of all mankind?{H376}

Doth not the ear{H241} try{H974} words,{H4405} Even as the palate{H2441} tasteth{H2938} its food?{H400}

With aged{H3453} men is wisdom,{H2451} And in length{H753} of days{H3117} understanding.{H8394}

With [God] is wisdom{H2451} and might;{H1369} He hath counsel{H6098} and understanding.{H8394}
