Job 12
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Then Iob answered, and sayde,
2 Truly that you [are the] people and with you it will die wisdom.
In deede because that ye are the people onely, wisedome must dye 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].
But I haue vnderstanding aswel as you, and am not inferior vnto you: yea, who knoweth not such things?
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 as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he heareth him: the iust and the vpright is laughed to scorne.
5 [belongs] to Disaster contempt to [the] thought of [one] at ease a push [belongs] to [those who] are sliding of foot.
Hee that is readie to fall, is as a lampe despised in the opinion of the riche.
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 tabernacles of robbers doe prosper, and they are in safetie, that prouoke God, whome God hath enriched with his hand.
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.
Aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the foules of the heauen, 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 speake to the earth, and it shall shewe thee: or the fishes of the sea, and they shall declare vnto thee.
9 Who? not does it know among all these for [the] hand of Yahweh it has done this.
Who is ignorant of all these, but that the hande of the Lord hath made these?
10 [he] whom [is] in Hand his [the] life of every living [thing] and [the] breath of all flesh of humankind.
In whose hande is the soule of euery liuing thing, and the breath of all mankinde.
11 ¿ Not an ear words does it test and a palate food it tastes itself.
Doeth not the eares discerne the words? and the mouth taste meate for it selfe?
12 [is] with Aged [people] wisdom and [is with] length of days understanding.
Among the ancient is wisedome, and in the length of dayes is vnderstanding.
13 [are] with Him wisdom and might [belong] to him counsel and understanding.
With him is wisedome and strength: he hath counsell and vnderstanding.
14 There! he tears down and not it will be rebuilt he shuts on a person and not it will be opened.
Beholde, he will breake downe, and it can not be built: he shutteth a man vp, and he can not be loosed.
15 There! he holds back the waters so they may be dry and he lets loose them and they may devastate [the] earth.
Beholde, he withholdeth the waters, and they drie vp: but when he sendeth them out, they destroy 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 wisedome: hee that is deceiued, and that deceiueth, are his.
17 [he is] leading away Counselors barefoot and judges he makes look foolish.
He causeth the counsellers to goe as spoyled, and maketh the iudges fooles.
18 [the] correction of Kings he loosens and he bound a loincloth on loins their.
He looseth the collar of Kings, and girdeth their loynes with a girdle.
19 [he is] leading away Priests barefoot and [people] long established he overturns.
He leadeth away the princes as a pray, and ouerthroweth the mightie.
20 [he is] removing A lip of trusted [ones] and [the] discernment of elders he takes away.
He taketh away the speach from the faithfull counsellers, and taketh away the iudgement of the ancient.
21 [he is] pouring Contempt on noble [people] and [the] belt of strong people he loosens.
He powreth contempt vpon princes, and maketh the strength of the mightie weake.
22 [he is] revealing Unfathomable [things] from darkness and he brought out to the light deep darkness.
He discouereth the deepe places from their darkenesse, and bringeth foorth the shadowe of death to light.
23 [he is] making great the Nations and he destroyed them [he is] spreading out the nations and he led them.
He increaseth the people, and destroyeth them: he inlargeth the nations, and bringeth them in againe.
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 heartes of the that are the chiefe ouer the people of the earth, and maketh them to wander in the wildernes out of the way.
25 They grope darkness and not light and he made wander them like drunkard.
They grope in the darke without light: and he maketh the to stagger like a drunken man.
