Job 12:2-12
2No doubt but ye are the peopleH5971,And wisdomH2451 shall dieH4191 with you.3But I have understanding as wellH1571 as you;I am not inferior to you:Yea, who knoweth not such thingsH428 as these?4I amH1961 as oneH6662 that is a laughing-stock to his neighborH7453,I who calledH7121 upon GodH433, and he answeredH6030:The just, the perfectH8549 man is a laughing-stock.5In the thought of him that is at easeH7600 there is contemptH937 for misfortune;It is ready for them whose footH7272 slippeth.6The tentsH168 of robbers prosper,And they that provoke GodH410 are secure;Into whose handH3027 GodH410 bringeth abundantly.7But askH7592 now the beasts, and they shall teachH3384 thee;And the birdsH5775 of the heavensH8064, and they shall tellH5046 thee:8Or speakH7878 to the earthH776, and it shall teachH3384 thee;And the fishes of the seaH3220 shall declare unto thee.9Who knoweth not in all these,That the handH3027 of Jehovah hath wrought this,10In whose handH3027 is the soulH5315 of every living thing,And the breathH7307 of all mankind?11Doth not the earH241 try wordsH4405,Even as the palateH2441 tasteth its foodH400?12With aged men is wisdomH2451,And in lengthH753 of daysH3117 understandingH8394.
