Job 12
1Then Job answered and said,
And wisdom shall die with you.
I am not inferior to you:
Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
I who called upon God, and he answered:
The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.
It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.
And they that provoke God are secure;
Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:
And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this,
And the breath of all mankind?
Even as the palate tasteth its food?
And in length of days understanding.
He hath counsel and understanding.
He shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
Again, he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
The deceived and the deceiver are his.
And judges maketh he fools.
And he bindeth their loins with a girdle.
And overthroweth the mighty.
And taketh away the understanding of the elders.
And looseth the belt of the strong.
And bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
He enlargeth the nations, and he leadeth them captive.
And causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
And he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
