\v 1 Then Job answered and said,
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 2 “No doubt you are the people;
|
||
|
|
\q wisdom will die with you.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 3 But I have understanding as well as you;
|
||
|
|
\q I am not inferior to you.
|
||
|
|
\q Indeed, who does not know such things as these?
|
||
|
|
|

|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 4 I am something for my neighbor to laugh at—
|
||
|
|
\q I, one who called on God and who was answered by him!
|
||
|
|
\q I, a just and perfect man—I am now something to laugh at.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 5 In the thought of someone who is at ease, there is contempt for misfortune;
|
||
|
|
\q he thinks in a way that brings more misfortune to those whose foot is slipping.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 6 The tents of robbers prosper,
|
||
|
|
\q and those who provoke God feel secure;
|
||
|
|
\q their own hands are their gods.
|

\q
|

\v 7 But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
|
||
|
|
\q ask the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you;
|
||
|
|
\q the fish of the sea will declare to you.

\v 9 Which animal among all these does not know
|
||
|
|
\q that the hand of Yahweh has done this—given them life—
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 10 Yahweh, in whose hand is the life of every living thing
|

|
|
\q and the breath of all mankind?

\s5
|

\q
|

|
|
\v 11 Does not the ear test words
|
||
|
|
\q just as the palate tastes its food?
|

|
|
\q
|

|
|
\v 12 With aged men is wisdom;
|
||
|
|
\q in length of days is understanding.

\q
|

\v 13 With God are wisdom and might;
|
||
|
|
\q he has good thoughts and understanding.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 14 See, he breaks down, and it cannot be built again;
|
||
|
|
\q if he imprisons someone, there can be no release.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 15 See, if he withholds the waters, they dry up;
|
||
|
|
\q and if he sends them out, they overwhelm the land.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 16 With him are strength and wisdom;
|
||
|
|
\q people who are deceived and the deceiver are both in his power.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 17 He leads counselors away barefoot in sorrow;
|
||
|
|
\q he turns judges into fools.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 18 He takes off the chain of authority from kings;
|
||
|
|
\q he wraps a cloth about their waists.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 19 He leads priests away barefoot in sorrow
|
||
|
|
\q and overthrows mighty people.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 20 He removes the speech of people who are trustworthy
|
||
|
|
\q and takes away the understanding of the elders.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 21 He pours contempt upon princes
|
||
|
|
\q and unfastens the belt of strong people.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 22 He reveals deep things from darkness
|
||
|
|
\q and brings out to light the shadows where dead people are.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 23 He makes nations strong, and he also destroys them;
|
||
|
|
\q He enlarges nations, and he also leads them along as prisoners.
|
||
|

|
||
|
|
\s5
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 24 He takes away understanding from the leaders of the people of the earth;

|
|
\q he causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no path.
|
||
|
|
\q
|
||
|
|
\v 25 They grope in the dark without light;
|
||
|
|
\q he makes them stagger like a drunk man.
