18_JOB_12_01 And Job answered And said ,
18_JOB_12_02 no doubt but ye [ are ] the people , And wisdom shall die with you .
18_JOB_12_03 but I have understanding as Well as you ; I [ am ] not inferior to you : yea , who knoweth not such things as These ?
18_JOB_12_04 I am [ as ] one mocked of his neighbour , who calleth upon God , And he answereth him : the just upright [ man Is ] laughed to scorn .
18_JOB_12_05 he that Is ready to slip with [ his ] feet [ Is as ] A lamp despised in the thought of him that Is at ease .
18_JOB_12_06 the tabernacles of robbers prosper , And they that provoke God are secure ; into whose hand God bringeth [ abundantly ] .
18_JOB_12_07 but ask now the beasts , And they shall teach thee ; And the fowls of the air , And they shall tell thee :
18_JOB_12_08 or speak to the earth , And it shall teach thee : And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee .
18_JOB_12_09 who knoweth not in all These that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this ?
18_JOB_12_10 in whose hand [ Is ] the soul of every living thing , And the breath of all mankind .
18_JOB_12_11 Doth not the ear try words ? And the mouth taste his meat ?
18_JOB_12_12 with the ancient [ Is ] wisdom ; And in length of days understanding .
18_JOB_12_13 with him [ Is ] wisdom And strength , he hath counsel And understanding .
18_JOB_12_14 behold , he breaketh down , And it cannot be built again : he shutteth up A man , And there can be no opening .
18_JOB_12_15 behold , he withholdeth the waters , And they dry up : also he sendeth them out , And they overturn the earth .
18_JOB_12_16 with him [ Is ] strength And wisdom : the deceived And the deceiver [ are ] his .
18_JOB_12_17 he leadeth counsellors away spoiled , And maketh the judges fools .
18_JOB_12_18 he looseth the bond of kings , And girdeth their loins with A girdle .
18_JOB_12_19 he leadeth princes away spoiled , And overthroweth the mighty .
18_JOB_12_20 he removeth away the speech of the trusty , And taketh away the understanding of the aged .
18_JOB_12_21 he poureth contempt upon princes , And weakeneth the strength of the mighty .
18_JOB_12_22 he discovereth deep things out of darkness , And bringeth out to light the shadow of death .
18_JOB_12_23 he increaseth the nations , And destroyeth them : he enlargeth the nations , And straiteneth them [ again ] .
18_JOB_12_24 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 .
18_JOB_12_25 they grope in the dark without light , And he maketh them to stagger like [ A ] drunken [ man ] .
