Job 12:2-12
2“TrulyH551 thenH3588 youH859 are the peopleH5971 withH5973 whom wisdomH2451 itself will dieH4191!3But I alsoH1571 have a mindH3824H3644; IH595 am notH3808 inferiorH5307 to youH854. WhoH4310 does notH369 know such thingsH3644 as theseH428?
4I amH1961 a laughingstockH7814 to my friendsH7453,though I calledH7121 on GodH433, and He answeredH6030.The righteousH6662 and upright manH8549 is a laughingstockH7814.5The one at easeH7600 scornsH937 misfortuneH6365as the fateH6248H3559 of those whose feetH7272 are slippingH4571.6The tentsH168 of robbersH7703 are safeH7951,and those who provokeH7264 GodH410 are secureH987—those who carryH935 their godH433 in their handsH3027.1
7ButH199 askH7592H4994 the animalsH929, and they will instruct youH3384;ask the birdsH5775 of the airH8064, and they will tellH5046 you.8OrH176 speakH7878 to the earthH776, and it will teach youH3384;let the fishH1709 of the seaH3220 informH5608 you.9WhichH4310 of allH3605 theseH428 does notH3808 knowH3045thatH3588 the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 has doneH6213 thisH2063?10The lifeH5315 of everyH3605 living thingH2416 is in His handH3027,as well as the breathH7307 of allH3605 mankindH1320H376.11Does notH3808 the earH241 testH974 wordsH4405as the tongueH2441 tastesH2938 its foodH400?12WisdomH2451 is found with the elderlyH3453,and understandingH8394 comes with longH753 lifeH3117.
