Job 12:1 And Job answered and said:
\nJob 12:2 For truly you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.
\nJob 12:3 I also have a heart as well as you; I do not fall short of you. And with whom are not things like these?
\nJob 12:4 I am a laughingstock to his friend; he calls on God, and He answers him; the just, the upright one is a mockery;
\nJob 12:5 a torch is despised in the thoughts of him who feels secure; it is ready for those with slipping feet.
\nJob 12:6 The tents of plunderers and those provoking God are at ease, to whomever God brings into his hand.
\nJob 12:7 But now please ask the animals, and they will teach you; and the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;
\nJob 12:8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea will recount to you;
\nJob 12:9 who of all these does not know that Jehovah’s hand has done this,
\nJob 12:10 in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all flesh, even of man?
\nJob 12:11 Does the ear not try words, and the mouth taste food for itself?
\nJob 12:12 With the aged is wisdom, and understanding is in the length of days.
\nJob 12:13 With Him is wisdom and strength; He has forethought and understanding.
\nJob 12:14 Behold, He breaks down, and no one builds; He shuts against a man, and no one opens.
\nJob 12:15 Behold, He holds back the waters, and they dry up; and He sends them out, and they overflow the earth.
\nJob 12:16 With Him is strength and sound wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are His.
\nJob 12:17 He causes wise men to go stripped; and He makes judges fools.
\nJob 12:18 He loosens the bonds of kings, and He binds their loins with a girdle;
\nJob 12:19 making priests walk away stripped; and He overthrows the mighty;
\nJob 12:20 turning aside the lip of the trusted men; and He takes away the reason of the aged.
\nJob 12:21 He pours scorn on nobles, and He loosens the girdle of the mighty;
\nJob 12:22 revealing deep things out of darkness; and He brings the shadow of death to light.
\nJob 12:23 He gives greatness to the nations, and He destroys them; spreading out the nations, and He leads them out.
\nJob 12:24 He takes away the heart of the heads of the people of the land; and He causes them to wander in a waste in which is no path.
\nJob 12:25 They grope in the dark, and there is no light; and He makes them stagger like a drunkard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
