Job 12
1 And he answered Job and he said.
And Job answered and said,
2 Truly that you [are the] people and with you it will die wisdom.
Truly ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you!
3 Also [belongs] to me a heart - like you not [am] falling I more than you and with whom? [are] there not like these [things].
I also have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you; and who knoweth not such things as these?
4 A laughingstock to friend his - I am [one who] called to God and he answered him [is] a laughingstock a righteous [person] a blameless [person].
I am to be one that is a derision to his friend, I who call upon God, and whom he will answer: a derision is the just upright [man].
5 [belongs] to Disaster contempt to [the] thought of [one] at ease a push [belongs] to [those who] are sliding of foot.
He that is ready to stumble with the foot is a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
6 They are at peace [the] tents - of destroyers and securiti [belong] to provokers of God to [those] whom he has brought God in hand his.
The tents of desolators are in peace, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth.
7 And but ask please [the] animals so it may teach you and [the] bird[s] of the heavens so it may tell to you.
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowl of the heavens, and they shall tell thee;
8 Or complain to the earth so it may teach you and they may recount to you [the] fish of the sea.
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
9 Who? not does it know among all these for [the] hand of Yahweh it has done this.
Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this?
10 [he] whom [is] in Hand his [the] life of every living [thing] and [the] breath of all flesh of humankind.
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.
11 ¿ Not an ear words does it test and a palate food it tastes itself.
Doth not the ear try words, as the palate tasteth food?
12 [is] with Aged [people] wisdom and [is with] length of days understanding.
With the aged is wisdom, and in length of days understanding.
13 [are] with Him wisdom and might [belong] to him counsel and understanding.
With him is wisdom and might; he hath counsel and understanding.
14 There! he tears down and not it will be rebuilt he shuts on a person and not it will be opened.
Behold, he breaketh down, and it is not built again; he shutteth up a man, and there is no opening.
15 There! he holds back the waters so they may be dry and he lets loose them and they may devastate [the] earth.
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up; and he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
16 [are] with Him strength and sound wisdom [belong] to him [one who] goes astray and [one who] leads astray.
With him is strength and effectual knowledge; the deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 [he is] leading away Counselors barefoot and judges he makes look foolish.
He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and judges maketh he fools;
18 [the] correction of Kings he loosens and he bound a loincloth on loins their.
He weakeneth the government of kings, and bindeth their loins with a fetter;
19 [he is] leading away Priests barefoot and [people] long established he overturns.
He leadeth priests away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty;
20 [he is] removing A lip of trusted [ones] and [the] discernment of elders he takes away.
He depriveth of speech the trusty, and taketh away the judgment of the elders;
21 [he is] pouring Contempt on noble [people] and [the] belt of strong people he loosens.
He poureth contempt upon nobles, and slackeneth the girdle of the mighty;
22 [he is] revealing Unfathomable [things] from darkness and he brought out to the light deep darkness.
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out into light the shadow of death;
23 [he is] making great the Nations and he destroyed them [he is] spreading out the nations and he led them.
He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them; he spreadeth out the nations, and bringeth them in;
24 [he is] removing [the] heart of [the] leaders of [the] people of The earth and he made wander them in a wasteland not a path.
He taketh away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste.
25 They grope darkness and not light and he made wander them like drunkard.
They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunkard.
