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