1 -Then Job answered:
2 -“Truly then you are the people with whom wisdom itself will die!
3 -But I also have a mind; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these?
4 -I am a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God, and He answered. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.
5 -The one at ease scorns misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
6 -The tents of robbers are safe, and those who provoke God are secure—those who carry their god in their hands.
7 -But ask the animals, and they will instruct you; ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you.
8 -Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; let the fish of the sea inform you.
9 -Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?
10 -The life of every living thing is in His hand, as well as the breath of all mankind.
11 -Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes its food?
12 -Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life.
13 -Wisdom and strength belong to God; counsel and understanding are His.
14 -What He tears down cannot be rebuilt; the man He imprisons cannot be released.
15 -If He holds back the waters, they dry up, and if He releases them, they overwhelm the land.
16 -True wisdom and power belong to Him. The deceived and the deceiver are His.
17 -He leads counselors away barefoot and makes fools of judges.
18 -He loosens the bonds placed by kings and fastens a belt around their waists.
19 -He leads priests away barefoot and overthrows the established.
20 -He deprives the trusted of speech and takes away the discernment of elders.
21 -He pours out contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty.
22 -He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into light.
23 -He makes nations great and destroys them; He enlarges nations, then disperses them.
24 -He deprives the earth’s leaders of reason and makes them wander in a trackless wasteland.
25 -They grope in the darkness without light; He makes them stagger like drunkards.
