Job 12 (LSV)
1 And Job answers and says: 2 “Truly—you [are] the people, and wisdom dies with you. 3 I also have a heart like you, I am not fallen more than you, || And with whom is there not like these? 4 I am a laughter to his friend: He calls to God, and He answers him, || A laughter [is] the perfect righteous one. 5 A torch—despised in the thoughts of the secure || Is prepared for those sliding with the feet. 6 The tents of spoilers are at peace, || And those provoking God have confidence, || Into whose hand God has brought. 7 And yet, now ask [one of] the beasts, || And it shows you, || And a bird of the heavens, || And it declares to you. 8 Or talk to the earth, and it shows you, || And fishes of the sea recount to you: 9 Who has not known in all these, || That the hand of YHWH has done this? 10 In whose hand [is] the breath of every living thing, || And the spirit of all flesh of man. 11 Does the ear not try words? And the palate taste food for itself? 12 With the very aged [is] wisdom, || And [with] length of days [is] understanding. 13 With Him [are] wisdom and might, || To Him [are] counsel and understanding. 14 Behold, He breaks down, and it is not built up, || He shuts against a man, || And it is not opened. 15 Behold, He keeps in the waters, and they are dried up, || And He sends them forth, || And they overturn the land. 16 With Him [are] strength and wisdom, || His the deceived and deceiver. 17 Causing counselors to go away [as] a spoil, || Indeed, He makes fools of judges. 18 He has opened the bands of kings, || And He binds a girdle on their loins. 19 Causing ministers to go away [as] a spoil || And strong ones He overthrows. 20 Turning aside the lip of the steadfast, || And the reason of the aged He takes away. 21 Pouring contempt on princes, || And the girdle of the mighty He made feeble. 22 Removing deep things out of darkness, || And He brings out to light death-shade. 23 Magnifying the nations, and He destroys them, || Spreading out the nations, and He quiets them. 24 Turning aside the heart || Of the heads of the people of the land, || And He causes them to wander || In vacancy—no way! 25 They feel darkness, and not light, || He causes them to wander as a drunkard.”
