Job 12 And undertaking, Job says,

1 G5274 And undertaking, G* Job G3004 says,

2 G1534 So then G1473 you G1510.2.5 are G444 men, G2228 then G3326 [³with G1473 ⁴you G5053 ²comes to an end G4678 ¹wisdom]?

3 G2504 [²also to me G3303 ³indeed G2588 ⁴a heart G2596 ⁵like G1473 ⁶yours G1510.2.3 ¹There is].

4 G1342 For a just G1063 G435 man, G2532 and G273 blameless, G1080 was born G1519 for G5512.1 an object for taunts.

5 G1519 [²at G5550 ⁴time G1063 ¹For G5002 ³an appointed] G2090 man had been prepared G4098 to fall G5259 under G243 others; G3624 [³house G5037 ¹also for G1473 ²his] G1607.1 to be pillaged G5259 by G459 lawless ones. G3756 But let not however G3375 G1161 G235 G3367 any one G3982 [³rely on G4190 ²wicked G1510.6 ¹being] G121 he shall be considered innocent; G1510.9

6 G3745 as many as G3949 provoke [³to anger G3588 ¹the G2962 ² lord], G5613 as if G3780 [²not G2532 ⁴also G2083.1 ⁵their chastisement G1473 G1510.8.3 ¹there will ³be].

7 G235 But G1211 indeed G2065 ask G5074 the four-footed beasts! G1437 if G1473 they should speak to you, G2036 G2228 or G4071 birds G3588 of the G3772 heaven, G1437 if G1473 they were able to report to you. G518

8 G1555 [²let ⁴tell in detail G1161 G1161 ¹And G1093 ³ the earth]! G1437 if G1473 it should expound to you; G5419 G2532 and G1834 [⁵shall describe G1473 ⁶to you G3588 ¹the G2486 ²fishes G3588 ³of the G2281 ⁴sea].

9 G5100 Who G3756 knew not G1097 G1722 among G3956 all G3778 these, G3754 that G5495 the hand G2962 of the lord G4160 made G3778 these?

10 G1508 Except G1722 in G5495 his hand G1473 G3588 is the G5590 life G3956 of all G3588 the G2198 living, G2532 and G4151 the breath G3956 of every G444 man.

11 G3775 [² the ear G3303 ³indeed G1063 ¹For G4487 ⁵words G1252 ⁴scrutinizes], G2995 and the throat G1161 G4621 [²grains G1089 ¹tastes].

12 G1722 In G4183 a long G5550 time G4678 is wisdom; G1722 and in G1161 G4183 a long G979 existence G1989.1 is higher knowledge.

13 G3844 By G1473 him G4678 is wisdom G2532 and G1411 power; G1473 with him G1012 counsel G2532 and G4907 understanding.

14 G1437 If G2598 he should throw down, G5100 who G3618 shall build up? G1437 If G2808 he locks G2596 against G444 man, G5100 who G455 opens?

15 G1437 If G2967 he should restrain G3588 the G5204 water, G3583 he shall dry G3588 the G1093 earth; G1437 and if G1161 G1891.1 he should let it loose, G622 he destroys G1473 it G2690 by eradication.

16 G3844 By G1473 him G2904 is might G2532 and G2479 strength; G1473 in him G1989.1 is higher knowledge G2532 and G4907 understanding,

17 G1236 leading G1010 counselors G164 as captives; G2923 and judges G1161 G1093 of the earth G1839 he amazes;

18 G2522.2 sitting G935 kings G1909 upon G2362 thrones, G2532 and G4019 ties G2223 a belt G3751 on their loins; G1473

19 G1821 sending G2409 priests G164 as captives; G1413 and the mighty ones G1161 G1093 of the earth G2690 he eradicates;

20 G1259 reconciling G5491 the lips G4103 of the trustworthy; G4907 [² the understanding G1161 G1161 ¹and] G4245 of the elders G1097 he knew;

21 G1632 pouring out G819 dishonor G1909 upon G758 rulers, G5011 but the humble G1161 G2390 he healed;

22 G343 uncovering G901 the deeps G1537 from out of G4655 darkness, G1806 and he leads G1161 G1519 [³into G5457 ⁴light G4639 ¹ the shadow G2288 ²of death];

23 G4105 wandering G1484 nations, G2532 and G622 destroying G1473 them; G2693 prostrating G1484 nations, G2532 and G2526.1 directing G1473 them;

24 G1259 reconciling G2588 the hearts G758 of the rulers G1093 of the earth, G4105 but wandering G1161 G1473 them G1722 in G3598 the way G3739 which G3756 they do not G1492 know.

25 G5584 May they handle G4655 darkness, G2532 and G3361 not G5457 light; G4105 may they be wandering G1161 G5618 as if G3588 one G3184 being intoxicated.

1 H347 And Job H6030 answered [H8799] H559 and said [H8799] ,

2 H551 No doubt H5971 but ye are the people H2451 , and wisdom H4191 shall die [H8799] with you.

3 H1571 But H3824 I have understanding H5307 as well as you; I am not inferior [H8802] H3644 to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

4 H7814 I am as one mocked H7453 of his neighbour H7121 , who calleth [H8802] H433 upon God H6030 , and he answereth [H8799] H6662 him: the just H8549 upright H7814 man is laughed to scorn.

5 H3559 He that is ready [H8737] H4571 to slip [H8802] H7272 with his feet H3940 is as a lamp H937 despised H6248 in the thought H7600 of him that is at ease.

6 H168 The tabernacles H7703 of robbers [H8802] H7951 prosper [H8799] H7264 , and they that provoke [H8688] H410 God H987 are secure H3027 ; into whose hand H433 God H935 bringeth [H8689] abundantly .

7 H199 But H7592 ask [H8798] H929 now the beasts H3384 , and they shall teach [H8686] H5775 thee; and the fowls H8064 of the air H5046 , and they shall tell [H8686] thee:

8 H7878 Or speak [H8798] H776 to the earth H3384 , and it shall teach [H8686] H1709 thee: and the fishes H3220 of the sea H5608 shall declare [H8762] unto thee.

9 H3045 Who knoweth [H8804] H3027 not in all these that the hand H3068 of the LORD H6213 hath wrought [H8804] this?

10 H3027 In whose hand H5315 is the soul H2416 of every living thing H7307 , and the breath H376 of all mankind H1320 .

11 H241 Doth not the ear H974 try [H8799] H4405 words H2441 ? and the mouth H2938 taste [H8799] H400 his meat?

12 H3453 With the ancient H2451 is wisdom H753 ; and in length H3117 of days H8394 understanding.

13 H2451 With him is wisdom H1369 and strength H6098 , he hath counsel H8394 and understanding.

14 H2040 Behold, he breaketh down [H8799] H1129 , and it cannot be built again [H8735] H5462 : he shutteth up [H8799] H376 a man H6605 , and there can be no opening [H8735] .

15 H6113 Behold, he withholdeth [H8799] H4325 the waters H3001 , and they dry up [H8799] H7971 : also he sendeth them out [H8762] H2015 , and they overturn [H8799] H776 the earth.

16 H5797 With him is strength H8454 and wisdom H7683 : the deceived [H8802] H7686 and the deceiver [H8688] are his.

17 H3212 He leadeth [H8688] H3289 counsellors [H8802] H7758 away spoiled H8199 , and maketh the judges [H8802] H1984 fools [H8779] .

18 H6605 He looseth [H8765] H4148 the bond H4428 of kings H631 , and girdeth [H8799] H4975 their loins H232 with a girdle.

19 H3212 He leadeth [H8688] H3548 princes H7758 away spoiled H5557 , and overthroweth [H8762] H386 the mighty.

20 H5493 He removeth away [H8688] H8193 the speech H539 of the trusty [H8737] H3947 , and taketh away [H8799] H2940 the understanding H2205 of the aged.

21 H8210 He poureth [H8802] H937 contempt H5081 upon princes H7503 , and weakeneth [H8765] H4206 the strength H650 of the mighty.

22 H1540 He discovereth [H8764] H6013 deep things H2822 out of darkness H3318 , and bringeth out [H8686] H216 to light H6757 the shadow of death.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then Job answered and said, ² No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. ³ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these? ⁴ I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbour, [a man] that called upon God, and he answered him: the just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock. ⁵ In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; it is ready for them whose foot slippeth. ⁶ The tents of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth [abundantly]. ⁷ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: ⁸ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. ⁹ Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of LORD hath wrought this? ¹⁰ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. ¹¹ Doth not the ear try words, even as the palate tasteth its meat? ¹² With aged men is wisdom, and in length of days understanding. ¹³ With him is wisdom and might; he hath counsel and understanding. ¹⁴ Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again; he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. ¹⁵ Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up; again, he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. ¹⁶ With him is strength and effectual working; the deceived and the deceiver are his. ¹⁷ He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and judges maketh he fools. ¹⁸ He looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth their loins with a girdle. ¹⁹ He leadeth priests away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. ²⁰ He removeth the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the elders. ²¹ He poureth contempt upon princes, and looseth the belt of the strong. ²² He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. ²³ He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth the nations abroad, and bringeth them in. ²⁴ He taketh away the heart of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. ²⁵ They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
