Job 12
|
|
| 12:1
And Job answered and said, |
 (12:1-25) "And Job answered and said....."
|
| 12:2
No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. |
|
| 12:3
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea,
who knoweth not such things as these? |
|
| 12:4
I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he
answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn. |
|
| 12:5
He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the
thought of him that is at ease. |
|
| 12:6
The tabernacles of
robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God
bringeth abundantly. |
 (12:6) "The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure;
into whose hand God bringeth abundantly."
Do evildoers prosper?
|
| 12:7
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the
air, and they shall tell thee:
|
| 12:8
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea
shall declare unto thee. |
|
| 12:9
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? |
|
| 12:10
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all
mankind. |
|
| 12:11
Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? |
|
| 12:12
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. |
|
| 12:13
With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. |
|
| 12:14
Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a
man, and there can be no opening. |
|
| 12:15
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them
out, and they overturn the earth. |
|
| 12:16
With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. |
|
| 12:17
He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. |
|
| 12:18
He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle. |
|
| 12:19
He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. |
|
| 12:20
He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the
understanding of the aged. |
|
| 12:21
He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the
mighty. |
|
| 12:22
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the
shadow of death. |
|
| 12:23
He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations,
and straiteneth them again. |
|
| 12:24
He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and
causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. |
|
| 12:25
They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a
drunken man.
