1 # And Job <0347> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799),
2 No doubt <0551> but ye are the people <05971>, and wisdom <02451> shall die <04191> (8799) with you.
3 But <01571> I have understanding <03824> as well as you; I am not inferior <05307> (8802) to you: yea, who knoweth not such things <03644> as these?
4 I am as one mocked <07814> of his neighbour <07453>, who calleth <07121> (8802) upon God <0433>, and he answereth <06030> (8799) him: the just <06662> upright <08549> man is laughed to scorn <07814>.
5 He that is ready <03559> (8737) to slip <04571> (8802) with his feet <07272> is as a lamp <03940> despised <0937> in the thought <06248> of him that is at ease <07600>.
6 # The tabernacles <0168> of robbers <07703> (8802) prosper <07951> (8799), and they that provoke <07264> (8688) God <0410> are secure <0987>; into whose hand <03027> God <0433> bringeth <0935> (8689) abundantly .
7 But <0199> ask <07592> (8798) now the beasts <0929>, and they shall teach <03384> (8686) thee; and the fowls <05775> of the air <08064>, and they shall tell <05046> (8686) thee:
8 Or speak <07878> (8798) to the earth <0776>, and it shall teach <03384> (8686) thee: and the fishes <01709> of the sea <03220> shall declare <05608> (8762) unto thee.
9 Who knoweth <03045> (8804) not in all these that the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> hath wrought <06213> (8804) this?
10 In whose hand <03027> is the soul <05315> of every living thing <02416>, and the breath <07307> of all mankind <0376> <01320>.
11 Doth not the ear <0241> try <0974> (8799) words <04405>? and the mouth <02441> taste <02938> (8799) his meat <0400>?
12 # With the ancient <03453> is wisdom <02451>; and in length <0753> of days <03117> understanding <08394>.
13 With him is wisdom <02451> and strength <01369>, he hath counsel <06098> and understanding <08394>.
14 Behold, he breaketh down <02040> (8799), and it cannot be built again <01129> (8735): he shutteth up <05462> (8799) a man <0376>, and there can be no opening <06605> (8735).
15 Behold, he withholdeth <06113> (8799) the waters <04325>, and they dry up <03001> (8799): also he sendeth them out <07971> (8762), and they overturn <02015> (8799) the earth <0776>.
16 With him is strength <05797> and wisdom <08454>: the deceived <07683> (8802) and the deceiver <07686> (8688) are his.
17 He leadeth <03212> (8688) counsellors <03289> (8802) away spoiled <07758>, and maketh the judges <08199> (8802) fools <01984> (8779).
18 He looseth <06605> (8765) the bond <04148> of kings <04428>, and girdeth <0631> (8799) their loins <04975> with a girdle <0232>.
19 He leadeth <03212> (8688) princes <03548> away spoiled <07758>, and overthroweth <05557> (8762) the mighty <0386>.
20 He removeth away <05493> (8688) the speech <08193> of the trusty <0539> (8737), and taketh away <03947> (8799) the understanding <02940> of the aged <02205>.
21 He poureth <08210> (8802) contempt <0937> upon princes <05081>, and weakeneth <07503> (8765) the strength <04206> of the mighty <0650>.
22 He discovereth <01540> (8764) deep things <06013> out of darkness <02822>, and bringeth out <03318> (8686) to light <0216> the shadow of death <06757>.
23 He increaseth <07679> (8688) the nations <01471>, and destroyeth <06> (8762) them: he enlargeth <07849> (8802) the nations <01471>, and straiteneth <05148> (8686) them again.
24 He taketh away <05493> (8688) the heart <03820> of the chief <07218> of the people <05971> of the earth <0776>, and causeth them to wander <08582> (8686) in a wilderness <08414> where there is no way <01870>.
25 They grope <04959> (8762) in the dark <02822> without light <0216>, and he maketh them to stagger <08582> (8686) like a drunken <07910> man.
