Then Job answered ,
web @
Job:12:2 @"
No doubt ,
but you are the people ,
and wisdom shall die with you .
web @
Job:12:3 @
But I have understanding as well as you ;
I am not inferior to you .
Yes ,
who doesn '
t know such things as these ?
web @
Job:12:4 @
I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor ,
I ,
who called on God ,
and he answered .
The just ,
the blameless man is a joke .
web @
Job:12:5 @
In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune .
It is ready for them whose foot slips .
web @
Job:12:6 @
The tents of robbers prosper .
Those who provoke God are secure ,
who carry their God in their hands .
web @
Job:12:7 @"
But ask the animals ,
now ,
and they shall teach you ;
the birds of the sky ,
and they shall tell you .
web @
Job:12:8 @
Or speak to the earth ,
and it shall teach you .
The fish of the sea shall declare to you .
web @
Job:12:9 @
Who doesn '
t know that in all these ,
the hand of Yahweh has done this ,
web @
Job:12:10 @
in whose hand is the life of every living thing ,
and the breath of all mankind ?
web @
Job:12:11 @
Doesn '
t the ear try words ,
even as the palate tastes its food ?
web @
Job:12:12 @
With aged men is wisdom ,
in length of days understanding .
web @
Job:12:13 @"
With God is wisdom and might .
He has counsel and understanding .
web @
Job:12:14 @
Behold ,
he breaks down ,
and it can '
t be built again .
He imprisons a man ,
and there can be no release .
web @
Job:12:15 @
Behold ,
he withholds the waters ,
and they dry up .
Again ,
he sends them out ,
and they overturn the earth .
web @
Job:12:16 @
With him is strength and wisdom .
The deceived and the deceiver are his .
web @
Job:12:17 @
He leads counselors away stripped .
He makes judges fools .
web @
Job:12:18 @
He loosens the bond of kings .
He binds their waist with a belt .
web @
Job:12:19 @
He leads priests away stripped ,
and overthrows the mighty .
web @
Job:12:20 @
He removes the speech of those who are trusted ,
and takes away the understanding of the elders .
web @
Job:12:21 @
He pours contempt on princes ,
and loosens the belt of the strong .
web @
Job:12:22 @
He uncovers deep things out of darkness ,
and brings out to light the shadow of death .
web @
Job:12:23 @
He increases the nations ,
and he destroys them .
He enlarges the nations ,
and he leads them captive .
web @
Job:12:24 @
He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth ,
and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way .
web @
Job:12:25 @
They grope in the dark without light .
He makes them stagger like a drunken man .
web @
Job:13:1 @"
Behold ,
my eye has seen all this .
My ear has heard and understood it .
web @
Job:13:2 @
What you know ,
I know also .
I am not inferior to you .
web @
Job:13:3 @"
Surely I would speak to the Almighty .
I desire to reason with God .
web @
Job:13:4 @
But you are forgers of lies .
You are all physicians of no value .
web @
Job:13:5 @
Oh that you would be completely silent !
Then you would be wise .
web @
Job:13:6 @
Hear now my reasoning .
Listen to the pleadings of my lips .
web @
Job:13:7 @
Will you speak unrighteously for God ,
and talk deceitfully for him ?
web @
Job:13:8 @
Will you show partiality to him ?
Will you contend for God ?
web @
Job:13:9 @
Is it good that he should search you out ?
Or as one deceives a man ,
will you deceive him ?
web @
Job:13:10 @
He will surely reprove you if you secretly show partiality .
web @
Job:13:11 @
Shall not his majesty make you afraid ,
And his dread fall on you ?
web @
Job:13:12 @
Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes ,
Your defenses are defenses of clay .
web @
Job:13:13 @"
Be silent ,
leave me alone ,
that I may speak .
Let come on me what will .
web @
Job:13:14 @
Why should I take my flesh in my teeth ,
and put my life in my hand ?
web @
Job:13:15 @
Behold ,
he will kill me .
I have no hope .
Nevertheless ,
I will maintain my ways before him .
web @
Job:13:16 @
This also shall be my salvation ,
that a godless man shall not come before him .
web @
Job:13:17 @
Hear diligently my speech .
Let my declaration be in your ears .
web @
Job:13:18 @
See now ,
I have set my cause in order .
I know that I am righteous .
web @
Job:13:19 @
Who is he who will contend with me ?
For then would I hold my peace and give up the spirit .
web @
Job:13:20 @"
Only don '
t do two things to me ;
then I will not hide myself from your face :
web @
Job:13:21 @
withdraw your hand far from me ;
and don '
t let your terror make me afraid .
web @
Job:13:22 @
Then call ,
and I will answer ;
or let me speak ,
and you answer me .
web @
Job:13:23 @
How many are my iniquities and sins ?
Make me know my disobedience and my sin .
web @
Job:13:24 @
Why hide you your face ,
and hold me for your enemy ?
web @
Job:13:25 @
Will you harass a driven leaf ?
Will you pursue the dry stubble ?
web @
Job:13:26 @
For you write bitter things against me ,
and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth :
web @
Job:13:27 @
You also put my feet in the stocks ,
and mark all my paths .
You set a bound to the soles of my feet ,
web @
Job:13:28 @
though I am decaying like a rotten thing ,
like a garment that is moth-eaten .
web @
Job:14:1 @"
Man ,
who is born of a woman ,
is of few days ,
and full of trouble .
web @
Job:14:2 @
He comes forth like a flower ,
and is cut down .
He also flees like a shadow ,
and doesn '
t continue .
web @
Job:14:3 @
Do you open your eyes on such a one ,
and bring me into judgment with you ?
web @
Job:14:4 @
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean ?
Not one .
web @
Job:14:5 @
Seeing his days are determined ,
the number of his months is with you ,
and you have appointed his bounds that he can '
t pass ;
web @
Job:14:6 @
Look away from him ,
that he may rest ,
until he shall accomplish ,
as a hireling ,
his day .
web @
Job:14:7 @"
For there is hope for a tree ,
If it is cut down ,
that it will sprout again ,
that the tender branch of it will not cease .
web @
Job:14:8 @
Though its root grows old in the earth ,
and its stock dies in the ground ,
web @
Job:14:9 @
yet through the scent of water it will bud ,
and put forth boughs like a plant .
web @
Job:14:10 @
But man dies ,
and is laid low .
Yes ,
man gives up the spirit ,
and where is he ?
web @
Job:14:11 @
As the waters fail from the sea ,
and the river wastes and dries up ,
web @
Job:14:12 @
so man lies down and doesn '
t rise .
Until the heavens are no more ,
they shall not awake ,
nor be roused out of their sleep .
web @
Job:14:13 @"
Oh that you would hide me in Sheol {
Sheol is the place of the dead .},
that you would keep me secret ,
until your wrath is past ,
that you would appoint me a set time ,
and remember me !
web @
Job:14:14 @
If a man dies ,
shall he live again ?
All the days of my warfare would I wait ,
until my release should come .
web @
Job:14:15 @
You would call ,
and I would answer you .
You would have a desire to the work of your hands .
web @
Job:14:16 @
But now you number my steps .
Don '
t you watch over my sin ?
web @
Job:14:17 @
My disobedience is sealed up in a bag .
You fasten up my iniquity .
web @
Job:14:18 @"
But the mountain falling comes to nothing .
The rock is removed out of its place ;
web @
Job:14:19 @
The waters wear the stones .
The torrents of it wash away the dust of the earth .
So you destroy the hope of man .
web @
Job:14:20 @
You forever prevail against him ,
and he departs .
You change his face ,
and send him away .
web @
Job:14:21 @
His sons come to honor ,
and he doesn '
t know it .
They are brought low ,
but he doesn '
t perceive it of them .
web @
Job:14:22 @
But his flesh on him has pain ,
and his soul within him mourns ."

Job:15:1 @
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered ,
