Job 12:2-12

2No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. 3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?123 4I am as one mocked by his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is mocked. 5He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

6The tents of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly . 7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: 8Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare to thee. 9Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? 10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.45 11Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste its food?6

12With the ancientiswisdom; and in length of days understanding.
