Berean Standard Bible
And
Job answereth
and
saith
: --
Then
Job answered
:
Truly --
ye
`
are '
the people ,
And
with you
doth
wisdom die .
“
Truly then
you
are the people with whom
wisdom itself
will
die !
I also have a heart
like
you,
I am not fallen
more
than
you ,
And
with
whom
is
there
not like
these?
But
I also have a mind;
I am not inferior
to
you .
Who
does
not know
such
things
as
these?
A
laughter
to
his
friend
I am :
`He
calleth
to God, and He answereth
him,'
A
laughter
`is'
the perfect
righteous one
.
I am a
laughingstock
to my
friends,
though
I
called
on
God, and He answered.
The righteous and
upright
man
is
a
laughingstock
.
A
torch
--
despised
in
the thoughts
of
the secure
Is
prepared
for
those sliding
with
the
feet.
The one
at
ease
scorns
misfortune
as
the fate
of
those whose
feet are
slipping
.
At
peace
are
the tents of spoilers
, And those provoking
God have
confidence,
He
into
whose
hand
God hath
brought
.
The tents of robbers
are
safe
, and those who
provoke
God are
secure—
those
who
carry
their
god in
their
hands
.
And
yet,
ask ,
I
pray
thee,
`One
of'
the beasts,
and
it
doth
shew
thee
, And a
fowl
of the heavens
, And it
doth
declare
to
thee
.
But
ask the animals
, and they
will
instruct
you;
ask
the
birds
of the air
, and they
will
tell
you
.
Or talk
to the earth, and it sheweth
thee,
And
fishes
of the sea recount
to
thee:
Or speak
to the earth, and it will
teach
you;
let
the
fish
of the sea inform
you.
`Who
hath
not
known
in
all these ,
That the hand of Jehovah
hath
done this?
Which
of
all these does
not
know
that the hand of the
LORD
has
done this?
In
whose
hand
`is'
the breath
of every living thing, And
the spirit
of all flesh
of
man
. '
The life
of every living thing is
in
His
hand
, as
well
as
the breath
of all mankind
.
Doth
not the ear try
words ?
And
the palate
taste
food for
itself
?
Does
not the ear test
words as
the tongue
tastes
its
food?
With the very
aged
`is'
wisdom
, And `with'
length
of
days
understanding.
Wisdom
is
found
with the elderly
, and understanding comes
with
long
life
.
With
Him
`are'
wisdom and might,
To him
`are'
counsel and understanding.
Wisdom and strength
belong
to God;
counsel and understanding are
His
.
Lo,
He breaketh
down ,
and
it
is
not
built
up,
He
shutteth
against
a
man ,
And
it
is
not
opened
.
What
He tears
down cannot
be
rebuilt;
the
man He
imprisons
cannot
be
released
.
Lo,
He keepeth
in
the waters, and
they are
dried
up, And he sendeth
them forth
, And
they overturn
the land.
If
He holds
back
the waters, they dry
up, and if
He releases
them, they overwhelm
the land.
With
Him
`are'
strength
and
wisdom ,
His
the deceived and deceiver.
True
wisdom and
power
belong
to
Him.
The deceived and the
deceiver are
His
.
Causing
counsellors
to
go
away a
spoil,
And judges He
maketh
foolish
.
He
leads
counselors
away barefoot
and makes
fools
of
judges.
The bands
of
kings He
hath
opened,
And He
bindeth
a girdle
on
their loins
.
He
loosens
the bonds
placed
by
kings and fastens
a belt
around
their waists
.
Causing
ministers
to
go
away a
spoil
And strong
ones
He
overthroweth
.
He
leads
priests
away barefoot
and overthrows
the
established
.
Turning
aside
the lip
of the
stedfast,
And the reason
of the
aged
He
taketh
away
.
He
deprives
the trusted
of speech
and takes
away
the discernment
of elders
.
Pouring
contempt upon
princes,
And the
girdle
of
the mighty He
made
feeble
.
He
pours
out
contempt on
nobles
and disarms
the mighty.
Removing
deep things out
of darkness ,
And He
bringeth
out
to
light death-shade
.
He
reveals
the
deep things of darkness and brings
deep
shadows
into
light.
Magnifying
the
nations ,
and He
destroyeth
them ,
Spreading
out
the
nations, and
He
quieteth
them.
He
makes
nations great
and destroys
them ;
He
enlarges
nations, then
disperses
them.
Turning
aside
the
heart
Of
the
heads
of
the people
of the
land,
And he
causeth
them to
wander In vacancy
--
no
way!
He
deprives
the earth’s
leaders
of reason
and makes
them wander in a
trackless
wasteland.
They feel
darkness ,
and
not
light ,
He causeth
them to
wander
as
a
drunkard
.
They grope
in
the
darkness without
light ;
He makes
them stagger
like
drunkards
.
