Job 12 (kjv)

12

And JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,2No doubtH551 but ye are the peopleH5971, and wisdomH2451 shall dieH4191 with you.3ButH1571 I have understandingH3824 as well as you; I am not inferiorH5307 to you: yea, who knoweth not such thingsH3644 as these?4I am as one mockedH7814 of his neighbourH7453, who callethH7121 upon GodH433, and he answerethH6030 him: the justH6662 uprightH8549 man is laughed to scornH7814.5He that is readyH3559 to slipH4571 with his feetH7272 is as a lampH3940 despisedH937 in the thoughtH6248 of him that is at easeH7600.6The tabernaclesH168 of robbersH7703 prosperH7951, and they that provokeH7264 GodH410 are secureH987; into whose handH3027 GodH433 bringethH935 abundantly.

7ButH199 askH7592 now the beastsH929, and they shall teachH3384 thee; and the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and they shall tellH5046 thee:8Or speakH7878 to the earthH776, and it shall teachH3384 thee: and the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220 shall declareH5608 unto thee.9Who knowethH3045 not in all these that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 hath wroughtH6213 this?10In whose handH3027 is the soulH5315 of every living thingH2416, and the breathH7307 of all mankindH376 H1320.11Doth not the earH241 tryH974 wordsH4405? and the mouthH2441 tasteH2938 his meatH400?12With the ancientH3453 is wisdomH2451; and in lengthH753 of daysH3117 understandingH8394.13With him is wisdomH2451 and strengthH1369, he hath counselH6098 and understandingH8394.14Behold, he breaketh downH2040, and it cannot be built againH1129: he shutteth upH5462 a manH376, and there can be no openingH6605.15Behold, he withholdethH6113 the watersH4325, and they dry upH3001: also he sendeth them outH7971, and they overturnH2015 the earthH776.16With him is strengthH5797 and wisdomH8454: the deceivedH7683 and the deceiverH7686 are his.17He leadethH3212 counsellorsH3289 away spoiledH7758, and maketh the judgesH8199 foolsH1984.18He loosethH6605 the bondH4148 of kingsH4428, and girdethH631 their loinsH4975 with a girdleH232.19He leadethH3212 princesH3548 away spoiledH7758, and overthrowethH5557 the mightyH386.20He removeth awayH5493 the speechH8193 of the trustyH539, and taketh awayH3947 the understandingH2940 of the agedH2205.21He pourethH8210 contemptH937 upon princesH5081, and weakenethH7503 the strengthH4206 of the mightyH650.22He discoverethH1540 deep thingsH6013 out of darknessH2822, and bringeth outH3318 to lightH216 the shadow of deathH6757.23He increasethH7679 the nationsH1471, and destroyethH6 them: he enlargethH7849 the nationsH1471, and straitenethH5148 them again.24He taketh awayH5493 the heartH3820 of the chiefH7218 of the peopleH5971 of the earthH776, and causeth them to wanderH8582 in a wildernessH8414 where there is no wayH1870.25They gropeH4959 in the darkH2822 without lightH216, and he maketh them to staggerH8582 like a drunkenH7910 man.
