Job 12




lesserot@Job:12:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:12:2 @ Truly ye are indeed the people, and with you wisdom must die out.

lesserot@Job:12:3 @ I also have sense like you; I do not fall short compared with you: and who possesseth not such things as these?

lesserot@Job:12:4 @ I am as one laughed at by his friend, who calleth upon God, while he answered him: a laughing–stock though righteous and innocent.

lesserot@Job:12:5 @ To the unfortunate there is given contempt–– according to the thoughts of him that is at ease–– prepared for those whose foot slippeth.

lesserot@Job:12:6 @ Prosperous are the tents of robbers, and security is given to those that provoke God. to him who carrieth his god in his hand.

lesserot@Job:12:7 @ Yet, do only ask of the beasts, and they will instruct thee; and the fowls of the heavens, and they will tell it thee;

lesserot@Job:12:8 @ Or speak to the earth, and she will instruct thee; and the fishes of the sea will inform thee

lesserot@Job:12:9 @ Who knoweth not through all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

lesserot@Job:12:10 @ in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all the bodies of men?

lesserot@Job:12:11 @ Doth not the ear try words, as the palate tasteth food for itself?

lesserot@Job:12:12 @ So It with the ancients wisdom, and with length of days understanding,

lesserot@Job:12:13 @ That with him are wisdom and strength, his are counsel and understanding.

lesserot@Job:12:14 @ Behold, he pulleth down, and there can be no rebuilding: he locketh upon a man, and there can be no opening,

lesserot@Job:12:15 @ Behold, he restraineth the waters, and they dry up; or he suffereth them to flow, and they overturn the earth.

lesserot@Job:12:16 @ With him are strength and counsel: his are the deceived and the deceiver.

lesserot@Job:12:17 @ He leadeth counsellors away bereft of sense, and maketh the judges fools.

lesserot@Job:12:18 @ He looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth a girdle around their loins.

lesserot@Job:12:19 @ He leadeth priests away bereft of sense, and the powerful he causeth to walk on crooked paths.

lesserot@Job:12:20 @ He removeth the speech from trusty speakers, and taketh away the intelligence of the aged.

lesserot@Job:12:21 @ He poureth contempt upon princes, and the belt of the mighty be looseneth.

lesserot@Job:12:22 @ He layeth open deep things from the midst of darkness, and bringeth out unto light the shadow of death.

lesserot@Job:12:23 @ He permitteth the nations to become great, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth out the nations, and leadeth them away.

lesserot@Job:12:24 @ He taketh away the sense of the chiefs of the people of the land, and causeth them to wander astray in a wilderness when there is no way.

lesserot@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light, and he causeth them to wander astray like a drunken man.
