Job - Chapter: 12


12:1	And Job answered and said,
12:2	No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
12:3	But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
12:4	I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
12:5	He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
12:6	The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
12:7	But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
12:8	Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
12:9	Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
12:10	In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
12:11	Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
12:12	With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
12:13	With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
12:14	Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
12:15	Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
12:16	With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
12:17	He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
12:18	He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
12:19	He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
12:20	He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
12:21	He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
12:22	He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
12:23	He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
12:24	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.
12:25	They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.


12:1	Then Iob answered, and sayde,
12:2	In deede because that ye are the people onely, wisedome must dye with you.
12:3	But I haue vnderstanding aswel as you, and am not inferior vnto you: yea, who knoweth not such things?
12:4	I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he heareth him: the iust and the vpright is laughed to scorne.
12:5	Hee that is readie to fall, is as a lampe despised in the opinion of the riche.
12:6	The tabernacles of robbers doe prosper, and they are in safetie, that prouoke God, whome God hath enriched with his hand.
12:7	Aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the foules of the heauen, and they shall tell thee:
12:8	Or speake to the earth, and it shall shewe thee: or the fishes of the sea, and they shall declare vnto thee.
12:9	Who is ignorant of all these, but that the hande of the Lord hath made these?
12:10	In whose hande is the soule of euery liuing thing, and the breath of all mankinde.
12:11	Doeth not the eares discerne the words? and the mouth taste meate for it selfe?
12:12	Among the ancient is wisedome, and in the length of dayes is vnderstanding.
12:13	With him is wisedome and strength: he hath counsell and vnderstanding.
12:14	Beholde, he will breake downe, and it can not be built: he shutteth a man vp, and he can not be loosed.
12:15	Beholde, he withholdeth the waters, and they drie vp: but when he sendeth them out, they destroy the earth.
12:16	With him is strength and wisedome: hee that is deceiued, and that deceiueth, are his.
12:17	He causeth the counsellers to goe as spoyled, and maketh the iudges fooles.
12:18	He looseth the collar of Kings, and girdeth their loynes with a girdle.
12:19	He leadeth away the princes as a pray, and ouerthroweth the mightie.
12:20	He taketh away the speach from the faithfull counsellers, and taketh away the iudgement of the ancient.
12:21	He powreth contempt vpon princes, and maketh the strength of the mightie weake.
12:22	He discouereth the deepe places from their darkenesse, and bringeth foorth the shadowe of death to light.
12:23	He increaseth the people, and destroyeth them: he inlargeth the nations, and bringeth them in againe.
12:24	He taketh away the heartes of the that are the chiefe ouer the people of the earth, and maketh them to wander in the wildernes out of the way.
12:25	They grope in the darke without light: and he maketh the to stagger like a drunken man.
