      | ¶ | And Job answered and said, | |
 | No doubt but ye [are] the people, and wisdom shall die with you. | ||
| But I have understanding as well as you; I [am] not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these? | ||
| I am [as] one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright [man is] laughed to scorn. | ||
| He that is ready to slip with [his] feet [is as] a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. | ||
| The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth [abundantly]. | ||
| ¶ | But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: | |
| Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. | ||
| Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? | ||
| In whose hand [is] the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. | ||
| Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? | ||
| With the ancient [is] wisdom; and in length of days understanding. | ||
| With him [is] wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. | ||
| Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. | ||
| Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. | ||
| With him [is] strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver [are] his. | ||
| He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. | ||
| He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle. | ||
| He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. | ||
| He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged. | ||
| He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. | ||
| He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. | ||
| He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them [again]. | ||
| 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. | ||
| They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like [a] drunken [man]. |
