vw@Job:12:1 @ Then Job answered and said:

vw@Job:12:2 @ Truly you are the people, and wisdom will die with you!

vw@Job:12:3 @ But I have a heart as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Indeed, who does not know such things as these?

vw@Job:12:4 @ I am one as a laughingstock to his friends; one who called upon God, and He answered him; the just and whole one is a laughingstock.

vw@Job:12:5 @ A lamp is despised in the thoughts of one who is at ease; it is made ready for those whose feet slip.

vw@Job:12:6 @ The tents of plunderers prosper, and those who provoke the Mighty God are secure, as God brings into his hand.

vw@Job:12:7 @ But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; and the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;

vw@Job:12:8 @ or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea shall recount to you.

vw@Job:12:9 @ Who among all these does not know that the hand of Jehovah has done this,

vw@Job:12:10 @ in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all the flesh of mankind?

vw@Job:12:11 @ Does not the ear test words and the mouth taste its food?

vw@Job:12:12 @ Wisdom is with old men, and with length of days is understanding.

vw@Job:12:13 @ With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding.

vw@Job:12:14 @ Behold, He breaks down, and it cannot be rebuilt; He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

vw@Job:12:15 @ Behold, He withholds the waters, and they dry up; He sends them out, and they transform the earth.

vw@Job:12:16 @ With Him are strength and wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are His.

vw@Job:12:17 @ He causes counselors to walk away barefoot, and makes fools of the judges.

vw@Job:12:18 @ He loosens the bonds of kings, and binds their loins with a waistband.

vw@Job:12:19 @ He causes the priests to walk away barefoot, and overthrows the mighty.

vw@Job:12:20 @ He removes the lips of the trusted ones, and takes away the discretion of the elders.

vw@Job:12:21 @ He pours contempt upon nobles, and drops the girdle off hollow bones.

vw@Job:12:22 @ He reveals deep dark mysteries, and brings out the deep darkness into the light of day.

vw@Job:12:23 @ He makes nations great, and destroys them; He spreads out nations, and guides them.

vw@Job:12:24 @ He takes away the heart of the heads of the people of the earth, and makes them wander in a wilderness with no path.

vw@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the darkness without light, and He makes them stagger like a drunkard.
