bes@Job:12:1 @ And Job answered and said,

bes@Job:12:2 @ So then ye alone are men, and wisdom shall die with you?

bes@Job:12:3 @ But I also have a heart as well as you.

bes@Job:12:4 @ For a righteous and blameless man has become a subject for mockery.

bes@Job:12:5 @ For it had been ordained that he should fall under others (note:)Or, for(:note) at the appointed time, and that his houses should be spoiled by transgressors: let not however any one trust that, being evil, he shall be held guiltless,

bes@Job:12:6 @ even as many as provoke the Lord, as if there were indeed to be no inquisition made of them.

bes@Job:12:7 @ But ask now the beasts, if they may speak to thee; and the birds of the air, if they may declare to thee.

bes@Job:12:8 @ Tell the earth, if it may speak to thee: and the fishes of the sea shall explain to thee.

bes@Job:12:9 @ Who then has not known in all these things, that the hand of the Lord has made them?

bes@Job:12:10 @ Whereas the life of all living things is in his hand, and the breath of every man.

bes@Job:12:11 @ For the ear tries words, and the (note:)Gr. throat(:note) palate tastes meats.

bes@Job:12:12 @ In length of time is wisdom, and in long life knowledge.

bes@Job:12:13 @ With him are wisdom and power, with him counsel and understanding.

bes@Job:12:14 @ If he should cast down, who will build up? if he should shut up against man, who shall open?

bes@Job:12:15 @ If he should withhold the water, he will dry the earth: and if he should let it loose, he overthrows and destroys it.

bes@Job:12:16 @ With him are strength and power: he has knowledge and understanding.

bes@Job:12:17 @ He leads counsellors away captive, and maddens the judges of the earth.

bes@Job:12:18 @ He seats kings upon thrones, and girds their loins with a girdle.

bes@Job:12:19 @ He sends away priests into captivity, and overthrows the mighty ones of the earth.

bes@Job:12:20 @ He changes the lips of the trusty, and he knows the understanding of the elders.

bes@Job:12:21 @ He pours dishonour upon princes, and heals the lowly.

bes@Job:12:22 @ Revealing deep things out of darkness: and he has brought into light the shadow of death.

bes@Job:12:23 @ Causing the nations to wander, and destroying them: overthrowing the nations, and leading them away.

bes@Job:12:24 @ Perplexing the minds of the princes of the earth: and he causes them to wander in a way, they have not known, saying,

bes@Job:12:25 @ Let them grope in darkness, and let there be no light, and let them wander as a drunken man.
