Job 12:2-25

No doubt
<0551>
but ye [are] the people
<05971>_,
and wisdom
<02451>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
with you.
But
<01571>
I have understanding
<03824>
as well as you; I [am] not inferior
<05307> (8802)
to you: yea, who knoweth not such things
<03644>
as these? {understanding: Heb. an heart} {I am...: Heb. I fall not lower than you} {who...: Heb. with whom are not such as these?}
I am [as] one mocked
<07814>
of his neighbour
<07453>_,
who calleth
<07121> (8802)
upon God
<0433>_,
and he answereth
<06030> (8799)
him: the just
<06662>
upright
<08549>
[man is] laughed to scorn
<07814>_.
He that is ready
<03559> (8737)
to slip
<04571> (8802)
with [his] feet
<07272>
[is as] a lamp
<03940>
despised
<0937>
in the thought
<06248>
of him that is at ease
<07600>_.
The tabernacles
<0168>
of robbers
<07703> (8802)
prosper
<07951> (8799)_,
and they that provoke
<07264> (8688)
God
<0410>
are secure
<0987>_;
into whose hand
<03027>
God
<0433>
bringeth
<0935> (8689)
[abundantly].
But
<0199>
ask
<07592> (8798)
now the beasts
<0929>_,
and they shall teach
<03384> (8686)
thee; and the fowls
<05775>
of the air
<08064>_,
and they shall tell
<05046> (8686)
thee:
Or speak
<07878> (8798)
to the earth
<0776>_,
and it shall teach
<03384> (8686)
thee: and the fishes
<01709>
of the sea
<03220>
shall declare
<05608> (8762)
unto thee.
Who knoweth
<03045> (8804)
not in all these that the hand
<03027>
of the LORD
<03068>
hath wrought
<06213> (8804)
this?
In whose hand
<03027>
[is] the soul
<05315>
of every living thing
<02416>_,
and the breath
<07307>
of all mankind
<0376> <01320>_.
{soul: or, life} {all...: Heb. all flesh of man}
Doth not the ear
<0241>
try
<0974> (8799)
words
<04405>_?
and the mouth
<02441>
taste
<02938> (8799)
his meat
<0400>_?
{mouth: Heb. palate}
With the ancient
<03453>
[is] wisdom
<02451>_;
and in length
<0753>
of days
<03117>
understanding
<08394>_.
With him [is] wisdom
<02451>
and strength
<01369>_,
he hath counsel
<06098>
and understanding
<08394>_.
{With...: that is, With God}
Behold, he breaketh down
<02040> (8799)_,
and it cannot be built again
<01129> (8735)_:
he shutteth up
<05462> (8799)
a man
<0376>_,
and there can be no opening
<06605> (8735)_.
{up: Heb. upon}
Behold, he withholdeth
<06113> (8799)
the waters
<04325>_,
and they dry up
<03001> (8799)_:
also he sendeth them out
<07971> (8762)_,
and they overturn
<02015> (8799)
the earth
<0776>_.
With him [is] strength
<05797>
and wisdom
<08454>_:
the deceived
<07683> (8802)
and the deceiver
<07686> (8688)
[are] his.
He leadeth
<03212> (8688)
counsellors
<03289> (8802)
away spoiled
<07758>_,
and maketh the judges
<08199> (8802)
fools
<01984> (8779)_.
He looseth
<06605> (8765)
the bond
<04148>
of kings
<04428>_,
and girdeth
<0631> (8799)
their loins
<04975>
with a girdle
<0232>_.
He leadeth
<03212> (8688)
princes
<03548>
away spoiled
<07758>_,
and overthroweth
<05557> (8762)
the mighty
<0386>_.
He removeth away
<05493> (8688)
the speech
<08193>
of the trusty
<0539> (8737)_,
and taketh away
<03947> (8799)
the understanding
<02940>
of the aged
<02205>_.
{speech...: Heb. lip of the faithful}
He poureth
<08210> (8802)
contempt
<0937>
upon princes
<05081>_,
and weakeneth
<07503> (8765)
the strength
<04206>
of the mighty
<0650>_.
{weakeneth...: or, looseth the girdle of the strong}
He discovereth
<01540> (8764)
deep things
<06013>
out of darkness
<02822>_,
and bringeth out
<03318> (8686)
to light
<0216>
the shadow of death
<06757>_.
He increaseth
<07679> (8688)
the nations
<01471>_,
and destroyeth
<06> (8762)
them: he enlargeth
<07849> (8802)
the nations
<01471>_,
and straiteneth
<05148> (8686)
them [again]. {straiteneth: Heb. leadeth in}
He taketh away
<05493> (8688)
the heart
<03820>
of the chief
<07218>
of the people
<05971>
of the earth
<0776>_,
and causeth them to wander
<08582> (8686)
in a wilderness
<08414>
[where there is] no way
<01870>_.
They grope
<04959> (8762)
in the dark
<02822>
without light
<0216>_,
and he maketh them to stagger
<08582> (8686)
like [a] drunken
<07910>
[man]. {stagger: Heb. wander}
