ಯೋಬನು 12
And Job answered and said,
No doubt but ye [are] the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
But I have understanding as well as you; I [am] not inferior to you: yes, who knoweth not such things as these?
4 ೪ ನಾನು ಗೆಳೆಯನ ಗೇಲಿಗೆ ಗುರಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ! ದೇವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸಿದೆನಲ್ಲಾ, ಆತನು ಲಾಲಿಸಿದನಲ್ಲಾ, ನೀತಿವಂತನೂ, ನಿರ್ದೋಷಿಯೂ ಆದವನು ಹಾಸ್ಯಾಸ್ಪದನಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
I am [as] one mocked by his neighbor, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright [man is] derided.
5 ೫ ಆಪತ್ತನ್ನು ಅನುಭವಿಸುವವರು ತಿರಸ್ಕಾರಕ್ಕೆ ಯೋಗ್ಯರೆಂಬುದು ನೆಮ್ಮದಿಯಿಂದಿರುವವನ ಯೋಚನೆ; ಜಾರಿ ಬಿದ್ದವರಿಗೆ ಅಪಮಾನವು ಕಾದಿರುತ್ತದೆ.
He that is ready to slip with [his] feet [is as] a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
6 ೬ ಕಳ್ಳರ ಗುಡಾರಗಳಾದರೋ ಸಮೃದ್ಧವಾಗಿರುವವು, ಕೈಯಲ್ಲಿರುವುದನ್ನೇ ದೇವರನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡು, ದೇವರನ್ನು ಕೋಪಕ್ಕೆ ಗುರಿಮಾಡುವವರು ಸುರಕ್ಷಿತರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ ಎಂದು ತಿಳಿದಿರುವರು.
The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth [abundantly].
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare to thee.
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
In whose hand [is] the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste its food?
With the ancient [is] wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
With him [is] wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
15 ೧೫ ನೋಡಿರಿ, ಆತನು ನೀರುಗಳನ್ನು ತಡೆದರೆ ಅವು ಬತ್ತಿಹೋಗುತ್ತವೆ; ಆತನು ನೀರುಗಳನ್ನು ಬಿಟ್ಟರೆ, ಅವು ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ಹಾಳುಮಾಡುತ್ತವೆ.
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
With him [is] strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver [are] his.
He leadeth counselors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
He revealeth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth to light the shades of death.
He increaseth nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth nations, and straiteneth them [again].
He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness [where there is] no way.
They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like [a] drunken [man].
