1Then Job^H347 responded,^H6030H559
2"Truly^H551 then^H3588 you are the people,^H5971 And with you wisdom^H2451 will die!^H4191
3"But I have intelligence^H3824 as well^H1571 as you; I am not inferior^H5307 to you. And who^H4310 does not know^H854 such^H3644 things as these^H428?
4"I am^H1961 a joke^H7814 to my friends.^H7453 The one who called^H7121 on God,^H433 and He answered^H6030 him; The just^H6662 [and] blameless^H8549 [man] is a joke.^H7814
5"He who is at ease^H7600 holds^H6248 calamity^H6365 in contempt,^H937 As prepared^H3559 for those whose feet^H7272 slip.^H4571
6"The tents^H168 of the destroyers^H7703 prosper,^H7951 And those who provoke^H7264 God^H410 are secure,^H987 Whom^H834 God^H433 brings^H935 into their power.^H3027
7"But now^H4994 ask^H7592 the beasts,^H929 and let them teach^H3384 you; And the birds^H5775 of the heavens,^H8064 and let them tell^H5046 you.
8"Or^H176 speak^H7878 to the earth,^H776 and let it teach^H3384 you; And let the fish^H1709 of the sea^H3220 declare^H5608 to you.
9"Who^H4310 among all^H3605 these^H428 does not know^H3045 That the hand^H3027 of the Lord^H3068 has done^H6213 this,^H384
10In whose^H834 hand^H3027 is the life^H5315 of every^H3605 living^H2416 thing,^H2416 And the breath^H7307 of all^H3605 mankind^H376H1320?
11"Does not the ear^H241 test^H974 words,^H4405 As the palate^H2441 tastes^H2938 its food^H400?
12"Wisdom^H2451 is with aged^H3453 men,^H3453 [With] long^H753 life^H3117 is understanding.^H8394
13"With Him are wisdom^H2451 and might;^H1369 To Him belong counsel^H6098 and understanding.^H8394
14"Behold,^H2005 He tears^H2040 down,^H2040 and it cannot^H3808 be rebuilt;^H1129 He imprisons^H5462 a man,^H376 and there can be no^H3808 release.^H6605
15"Behold,^H2005 He restrains^H6113 the waters,^H4325 and they dry^H3001 up; And He sends^H7971 them out, and they inundate^H2015 the earth.^H776
16"With Him are strength^H5797 and sound^H8454 wisdom,^H8454 The misled^H7683 and the misleader^H7686 belong to Him.
17"He makes counselors^H3289 walk^H1980 barefoot,^H7758 And makes^H1984 fools^H1984 of judges.^H8199
18"He loosens^H6605 the bond^H4147 of kings,^H4428 And binds^H631 their loins^H4975 with a girdle.^H232
19"He makes priests^H3548 walk^H1980 barefoot,^H7758 And overthrows^H5557 the secure^H386 ones.^H386
20"He deprives^H5493 the trusted^H539 ones of speech,^H8193 And takes^H3947 away the discernment^H2940 of the elders.^H2205
21"He pours^H8210 contempt^H937 on nobles,^H5081 And loosens^H7503 the belt^H4206 of the strong.^H650
22"He reveals^H1540 mysteries^H6013 from the darkness,^H2822 And brings^H3318 the deep^H6757 darkness^H6757 into light.^H216
23"He makes^H7679 the nations^H1471 great,^H7679 then destroys them; He enlarges^H6 the nations,^H7849 then leads^H1471 them away.
24"He deprives^H5493 of intelligence^H3820 the chiefs^H7218 of the earth's people,^H5971 And makes them wander^H8582 in a pathless^H3808H1870 waste.^H8414
25"They grope^H4959 in darkness^H2822 with no^H3808 light,^H216 And He makes them stagger^H8582 like a drunken^H7910 man.^H7910
