Job 12
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Then Job said [to his three friends],
2 Truly that you [are the] people and with you it will die wisdom.
“You (talk as though/You think) [SAR] that you are the people [whom everyone should listen to], and that when you die, there will be no more wise people.
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 have as much good sense as you do; I am (not less wise than/certainly as wise as [LIT]) you. Certainly everyone knows [RHQ] all that you have said.
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].
My friends all laugh at me now. Previously I habitually requested God to help me, and he answered/helped me. I am righteous, a very godly man [DOU], but everyone laughs at me.
5 [belongs] to Disaster contempt to [the] thought of [one] at ease a push [belongs] to [those who] are sliding of foot.
Those [like you] who have no troubles make fun of me; they cause those [like me] who are already suffering to have more troubles.
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.
Bandits live peacefully, and no one threatens those who cause God to become angry; their own strength is the god [that they worship].
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 the wild animals [what they know about God], and [if they could speak] they would teach you. [If you could] ask the birds, they would tell you.
8 Or complain to the earth so it may teach you and they may recount to you [the] fish of the sea.
[If you could] ask the creatures [that crawl] on the ground, or the fish in the sea, they would tell you [about God].
9 Who? not does it know among all these for [the] hand of Yahweh it has done this.
All of them certainly know [RHQ] that it is Yahweh who has made them with his hands.
10 [he] whom [is] in Hand his [the] life of every living [thing] and [the] breath of all flesh of humankind.
He directs the lives of all living creatures; he gives breath to all [us] humans [to enable us to remain alive].
11 ¿ Not an ear words does it test and a palate food it tastes itself.
And when we [SYN] hear what other people [like you] say, we [RHQ] think carefully about what they say [to determine what is good and what is bad], like we [SYN] taste food [to determine what is good and what is bad].
12 [is] with Aged [people] wisdom and [is with] length of days understanding.
Old people are [often] very wise, and because of having lived many years, they understand much,
13 [are] with Him wisdom and might [belong] to him counsel and understanding.
but God is wise and very powerful; he has good sense and understands [everything].
14 There! he tears down and not it will be rebuilt he shuts on a person and not it will be opened.
If he tears [something] down, no one can rebuild it; if he puts someone in prison, no one can open [the prison doors to allow that person to escape].
15 There! he holds back the waters so they may be dry and he lets loose them and they may devastate [the] earth.
When he prevents rain from falling, everything dries up. When he causes a lot of rain to fall, [the result is that] there are floods.
16 [are] with Him strength and sound wisdom [belong] to him [one who] goes astray and [one who] leads astray.
He is the one who is truly strong and wise; he rules over those who deceive others and those whom they deceive.
17 [he is] leading away Counselors barefoot and judges he makes look foolish.
He [sometimes] causes [the king’s] officials to no longer be wise, and he causes judges to become foolish.
18 [the] correction of Kings he loosens and he bound a loincloth on loins their.
He takes from kings the robes that they wear and puts loincloths around their waists, [causing them to become slaves].
19 [he is] leading away Priests barefoot and [people] long established he overturns.
He takes from priests the sacred clothes that they wear, [with the result that they no longer can do their work], and takes power from those who rule others.
20 [he is] removing A lip of trusted [ones] and [the] discernment of elders he takes away.
He [sometimes] causes those whom others trust to be unable to speak, and he causes old men to no longer have good sense.
21 [he is] pouring Contempt on noble [people] and [the] belt of strong people he loosens.
He causes those who have authority to be despised, and he causes those who are powerful to no longer have any power/strength.
22 [he is] revealing Unfathomable [things] from darkness and he brought out to the light deep darkness.
He causes things that are hidden in the darkness to be revealed.
23 [he is] making great the Nations and he destroyed them [he is] spreading out the nations and he led them.
He causes some nations to become very great, and [later] he destroys them; he causes the territory of some nations to become much larger, and [later] he causes them to be defeated and their people to be scattered.
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 causes [some] rulers to become foolish/stupid, and then he causes them to wander around, lost, in an barren desert.
25 They grope darkness and not light and he made wander them like drunkard.
They grope around in the darkness, without any light, and he causes them to stagger like [SIM] people who are drunk.”
