Job:12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And Job answered and said ,
*
No doubt but ye are the people ,
and wisdom shall die with you .
*
But I have understanding as well as you ;
I am not inferior to you :
yea ,
who knoweth not such things as these ?
*
I am as one mocked of his neighbour ,
who calleth upon God ,
and he answereth him :
the just upright man is laughed to scorn .
*
He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease sha #

*
The tabernacles of robbers prosper ,
and they that provoke God are secure ;
into whose hand God bringeth abundantly .
*
But ask now the beasts ,
and they shall teach thee ;
and the fowls of the air ,
and they shall tell thee :
*
Or speak to the earth ,
and it shall teach thee :
and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee .
*
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this ?
*
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing ,
and the breath of all mankind #

*
Doth not the ear try words ?
and the mouth taste his meat ?
*
With the ancient is wisdom ;
and in length of days understanding .
*
With him is wisdom and strength ,
he hath counsel and understanding .
*
Behold ,
he breaketh down ,
and it cannot be built again :
he shutteth up a man ,
and there can be no opening .
*
Behold ,
he withholdeth the waters ,
and they dry up :
also he sendeth them out ,
and they overturn the earth .
*
With him is strength and wisdom :
the deceived and the deceiver are his .
*
He leadeth counsellors away spoiled ,
and maketh the judges fools .
*
He looseth the bond of kings ,
and girdeth their loins with a girdle .
*
He leadeth princes away spoiled ,
and overthroweth the mighty .
*
He removeth away the speech of the trusty ,
and taketh away the understanding of the aged .
*
He poureth contempt upon princes ,
and weakeneth the strength of the mighty .
*
He discovereth deep things out of darkness ,
and bringeth out to light the shadow of death .
*
He increaseth the nations ,
and destroyeth them :
he enlargeth the nations ,
and straiteneth them again .
*
He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth ,
and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way .
*
They grope in the dark without light ,
and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man .
