Job 12:7-16

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 mankindH1320H376.12

11Doth not the earH241 tryH974 wordsH4405? and the mouthH2441 tasteH2938 his meatH400?3

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

13With him is wisdomH2451 and strengthH1369, he hath counselH6098 and understandingH8394.4

14Behold, he breaketh downH2040, and it cannot be built againH1129: he shutteth upH5462 a manH376, and there can be no openingH6605.5

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.
