Job 12:2-12

2No doubt but ye are the peopleH5971, and wisdomH2451 shall dieH4191 with youH859.

3But I have understandingH3824 as wellH1571 as youH3808; I am notH3808 inferiorH5307 to youH3808: yea, who knoweth notH3808 suchH428 things as theseH428?

4I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbour, a manH6662 that calledH7121 uponH1961 GodH433, and he answeredH6030 him: the justH6662, the perfectH8549 manH6662 is a laughing-stock.

5In the thought of him that is at easeH7600 there is contemptH937 for misfortune; it is readyH3559 for them whose footH7272 slippeth.

6The tentsH168 of robbersH7703 prosperH7951, and they that provokeH7264 GodH410 are secureH987; intoH935 whoseH834 handH3027 GodH410 bringeth abundantly.

7But askH7592 nowH4994 the beastsH929, and they shall teachH3384 thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tellH5046 thee:

8Or speakH7878 to the earthH776, and it shall teachH3384 thee; and the fishes of the seaH3220 shall declareH5608 unto thee.

9Who knoweth notH3808 in allH3605 theseH428, that the handH3027 of LORDH3068 hath wrought this?

10In whoseH834 handH3027 is the soulH5315 of everyH3605 livingH2416 thingH3605, and the breathH7307 of allH3605 mankindH1320.

11Doth notH3808 the earH241 tryH974 wordsH4405, evenH3808 as the palateH2441 tasteth itsH2938 meat?

12With agedH3453 menH3453 is wisdomH2451, and in lengthH753 of daysH3117 understandingH8394.
