- 1. ¶ AND Job answered and said,
- 2. Truly, you are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
- 3. But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you; but to whom are such things as these not known?
- 4. And yet he who called upon God became ridiculous to his friends, and he answered him who is pleased with the righteous who are unblemished,
- 5. Who is ready to do away with contempt and iniquity, and to strengthen the slippery feet.
- 6. ¶ The tabernacle of robbers shall be removed, and the confidence of those who provoke God; for there is no God in their heart.
- 7. But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell you;
- 8. Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you; and the fishes of the sea shall declare to you.
- 9. Who does not know in all these that the hand of the LORD has made them?
- 10. Because in his hand are the souls of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
- 11. The ear hears the words, and the palate tastes food.
- 12. ¶ With the elders is wisdom; and in length of days, understanding.
- 13. With him is wisdom and might, he has counsel and understanding.
- 14. Behold, if he demolishes, who can build; and if he shuts up a man in prison, who can open?
- 15. If he withholds the waters, they dry up; if he releases them they ruin the land.
- 16. With him is strength and wisdom; with him is might and salvation.
- 17. He leads kings amazingly, and makes judges fools.
- 18. He brings kings down to beg at the gates, and girds their loins with girdles of power.
- 19. He leads priests with reverence, and overthrows the mighty.
- 20. He cancels the speech of trusty counsellors, and takes away the good judgment of elders.
- 21. He pours contempt upon princes, and weakens the strength of the mighty.
- 22. He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings the light out of the shadow of death.
- 23. He causes the nations to err, and destroys them; he strikes down the nations, and forsakes them.
- 24. He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a waste land where there is no way.
- 25. They search in darkness without light, and they grope in darkness without understanding; and he makes them stagger like a drunken man.
