Job 12:1 (NASB) New American Standard Bible

1 Then Job replied and said:
2 No doubt you are the intelligent folk, and with you wisdom shall die!
3 But I have intelligence as well as you; for who does not know such things as these?
4 I have become the sport of my neighbors: "The one whom God answers when he calls upon him, The just, the perfect man," is a laughing-stock;
5 The undisturbed esteem my downfall a disgrace such as awaits unsteady feet;
6 Yet the tents of robbers are prosperous, and those who provoke God are secure.
7 But now ask the beasts to teach you, and the birds of the air to tell you;
8 Or the reptiles on earth to instruct you, and the fish of the sea to inform you.
9 Which of all these does not know that the hand of God has done this?
10 In his hand is the soul of every living thing, and the life breath of all mankind.
11 Does not the ear judge words as the mouth tastes food?
12 So with old age is wisdom, and with length of days understanding.
13 With him are wisdom and might; his are counsel and understanding.
14 If he breaks a thing down, there is no rebuilding; if he imprisons a man, there is no release.
15 He holds back the waters and there is drought; he sends them forth and they overwhelm the land.
16 With him are strength and prudence; the misled and the misleaders are his.
17 He sends counselors away barefoot, and of judges he makes fools.
18 He loosens the bonds imposed by kings and leaves but a waistcloth to bind the king's own loins.
19 and lets their never-failing waters flow away.
20 He silences the trusted adviser, and takes discretion from the aged.
21 He breaks down the barriers of the streams
22 The recesses of the darkness he discloses, and brings the gloom forth to the light.
23 He makes nations great and he destroys them; he spreads peoples abroad and he abandons them.
24 He takes understanding from the leaders of the land,
25 till they grope in the darkness without light; he makes them stagger like drunken men.
1 And Job H347 EMS answered H6030 W-VQY3MS and said H559 W-VQY3MS ,
2 No doubt H551 CONJ but H3588 CONJ ye H859 PPRO-2MS are the people H5971 NMS , and wisdom H2451 NFS shall die H4191 VQY3FS with H5973 W-PREP-2MS you .
3 But H1571 CONJ I have understanding H3824 NMS as well as you H3644 PREP-2MP ; I H595 PPRO-1MS am not H3808 NADV inferior H5307 VQPMS to H4480 M-PPRO-2MS you : yea H854 W-PART , who H4310 IPRO knoweth not H369 NPAR such things as these H3644 PREP ?
4 I am H1961 VQY1MS as one mocked H7814 CMS of his neighbor H7453 L-CMS-3MS , who calleth H7121 VQPMS upon God H433 L-NMS , and he answereth H6030 W-VQY3MS him : the just H6662 AMS upright H8549 AMS man is laughed to scorn H7814 NMS .
5 He that is ready H3559 NMS to slip H4571 L-VQCMP with his feet H7272 NFS is as a lamp H3940 LD-NMS despised H937 NMS in the thought H6248 L-CFS of him that is at ease H7600 AMS .
6 The tabernacles H168 NMP of robbers H7703 L-VHCMP prosper H7951 VQY3MP , and they that provoke H7264 L-VHCMP God H410 EDS are secure H987 W-NFP ; into whose H834 L-RPRO hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS God H433 NAME-4MS bringeth H935 VHQ3MS abundantly .
7 But H199 W-ADV ask H7592 VQI2MS now H4994 IJEC the beasts H929 NFP , and they shall teach H3384 W-VHY3FS-2MS thee ; and the fowls H5775 NMS of the air H8064 D-NMD , and they shall tell H5046 W-VHI3MS thee :
8 Or H176 CONJ speak H7878 VQI2MS to the earth H776 LD-NFS , and it shall teach H3384 W-VHY3FS-2MS thee : and the fishes H1709 CMP of the sea H3220 D-NMS shall declare H5608 W-VPY3MP unto thee .
9 Who H4310 IPRO knoweth H3045 VQQ3MS not H3808 NADV in all H3605 B-CMS these H428 PMP that H3588 CONJ the hand H3027 CFS of the LORD H3068 EDS hath wrought H6213 VQQ3MS this H2063 DPRO ?
10 In whose H834 RPRO hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS is the soul H5315 GFS of every H3605 NMS living thing H2416 AMS , and the breath H7307 W-GFS of all H3605 NMS mankind H1320 CMS .
11 Doth not H3808 I-NADV the ear H241 NFS try H974 VQY3FS words H4405 NFP ? and the mouth H2441 W-NMS taste H2938 VQY3MS his meat H400 NMS ?
12 With the ancient H3453 B-AMP is wisdom H2451 NFS ; and in length H753 W-CMS of days H3117 NMP understanding H8394 NFS .
13 With H5973 PREP-3MS him is wisdom H2451 NFS and strength H1369 W-NFS , he hath counsel H6098 NFS and understanding H8394 W-NFS .
14 Behold H2005 IJEC , he breaketh down H2040 VQY3MS , and it cannot H3808 W-NPAR be built again H1129 VNY3MS : he shutteth up H5462 VQY3MS a man H376 NMS , and there can be no opening H6605 VNY3MS .
15 Behold H2005 IJEC , he withholdeth H6113 VQY3MS the waters H4325 BD-NMP , and they dry up H3001 W-VQY3MP : also he sendeth them out H7971 W-VPY3MS , and they overturn H2015 W-VQY3MP the earth H776 GFS .
16 With H5973 PREP-3MS him is strength H5797 NMS and wisdom H8454 W-NFS : the deceived H7683 VQPMS and the deceiver H7686 W-VHPMS are his .
17 He leadeth H1980 VHPMS counselors H3289 VQPMS away spoiled H7758 AMS , and maketh the judges H8199 W-VQPMP fools H1984 VPY3MS .
18 He looseth H6605 VPQ3MS the bond H4148 CMS of kings H4428 NMP , and girdeth H631 W-VQY3MS their loins H4975 B-CMD-3MP with a girdle H232 NMS .
19 He leadeth H1980 VHPMS princes H3548 NMP away spoiled H7758 AMS , and overthroweth H5557 VPYMS the mighty H386 W-NMS .
20 He removeth away H5493 VHPMS the speech H8193 NFS of the trusty H539 L-VNPMP , and taketh away H3947 VQY3MS the understanding H2940 W-CMS of the aged H2205 AMP .
21 He poureth H8210 VQPMS contempt H937 NMS upon H5921 PREP princes H5081 AMP , and weakeneth H7503 VPQ3MS the strength H4206 W-CMS of the mighty H650 NMP .
22 He discovereth H1540 VPPMS deep things H6013 AFP out of H4480 PREP-1MS darkness H2822 NMS , and bringeth out H3318 W-VHY3MS to light H216 L-NMS the shadow of death H6757 NMS .
23 He increaseth H7679 VHPMS the nations H1471 LD-NMP , and destroyeth H6 W-VPY3MS them : he enlargeth H7849 VQPMS the nations H1471 LD-NMP , and straiteneth H5148 W-VHY3MS them again .
24 He taketh away H5493 VHPMS the heart H3820 NMS of the chief H7218 CMP of the people H5971 NMS of the earth H776 D-GFS , and causeth them to wander H8582 W-VHY3MS-3MP in a wilderness H8414 B-NMS where there is no H3808 NADV way H1870 NMS .
25 They grope H4959 VPY3MP in the dark H2822 NMS without H3808 W-NPAR light H216 NMS , and he maketh them to stagger H8582 W-VHY3MS-3MP like a drunken H7910 KD-AMS man .
