Job 12:1-25

12:1

And Job
<0347>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

12:2

No doubt
<0551>

but ye [are] the people
<05971>_,

and wisdom
<02451>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

with you.

12:3

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?}

12:4

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>_.

12:5

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>_.

12:6

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].

12:7

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:

12:8

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.

12:9

Who knoweth
<03045> (8804)

not in all these that the hand
<03027>

of the LORD
<03068>

hath wrought
<06213> (8804)

this?

12:10

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}

12:11

Doth not the ear
<0241>

try
<0974> (8799)

words
<04405>_?

and the mouth
<02441>

taste
<02938> (8799)

his meat
<0400>_?

{mouth: Heb. palate}

12:12

With the ancient
<03453>

[is] wisdom
<02451>_;

and in length
<0753>

of days
<03117>

understanding
<08394>_.

12:13

With him [is] wisdom
<02451>

and strength
<01369>_,

he hath counsel
<06098>

and understanding
<08394>_.

12:14

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>_,

<03001> (8799)_:

also he sendeth them out
<07971> (8762)_,

and they overturn
<02015> (8799)

the earth
<0776>_.

12:16

With him [is] strength
<05797>

and wisdom
<08454>_:

the deceived
<07683> (8802)

and the deceiver
<07686> (8688)

[are] his.

12:17

He leadeth
<03212> (8688)

counsellors
<03289> (8802)

away spoiled
<07758>_,

and maketh the judges
<08199> (8802)

fools
<01984> (8779)_.

12:18

He looseth
<06605> (8765)

the bond
<04148>

of kings
<04428>_,

and girdeth
<0631> (8799)

their loins
<04975>

with a girdle
<0232>_.

12:19

He leadeth
<03212> (8688)

princes
<03548>

away spoiled
<07758>_,

and overthroweth

the mighty
<0386>_.

12:20

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}

12:21

He poureth
<08210> (8802)

contempt
<0937>

upon princes
<05081>_,

and weakeneth
<07503> (8765)

the strength
<04206>

of the mighty
<0650>_.

<01540> (8764)

out of darkness

to light
<0216>

the shadow of death
<06757>_.

12:23

He increaseth
<07679> (8688)

the nations
<01471>_,

and destroyeth
<06> (8762)

them: he enlargeth
<07849> (8802)

the nations
<01471>_,

them [again]. {straiteneth: Heb. leadeth in}

<05493> (8688)

the heart
<03820>

of the chief
<07218>

of the people

of the earth
<0776>_,

and causeth them to wander
<08582> (8686)

in a wilderness
<08414>

[where there is] no way
<01870>_.

12:25

<04959> (8762)

in the dark

like [a] drunken
<07910>

[man]. {stagger: Heb. wander}

to the people

inhabiting the wilderness

to play
<07832> (8763)

therein. {made: Heb. formed}
