Job 12:2-12

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?123

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 YhwhH3068 hath wroughtH6213 this?

10In whose handH3027 is the soulH5315 of every living thingH2416, and the breathH7307 of all mankindH1320H376.45

11Doth not the earH241 tryH974 wordsH4405? and the mouthH2441 tasteH2938 his meatH400?6

12With the ancientH3453 is wisdomH2451; and in lengthH753 of daysH3117 understandingH8394.
