1 Then|strong="H6030" Job answered|strong="H6030" and|strong="H6030" said|strong="H6030",
2 No doubt but|strong="H3588" ye are|strong="H5971" the|strong="H3588" people|strong="H5971", and|strong="H5971" wisdom|strong="H2451" shall|strong="H5971" die|strong="H4191" with|strong="H5973" you|strong="H3588".
3 But|strong="H3808" I|strong="H3808" have|strong="H1571" understanding|strong="H3824" as|strong="H3644" well|strong="H1571" as|strong="H3644" you|strong="H3808"; I|strong="H3808" am not|strong="H3808" inferior|strong="H5307" to|strong="H3824" you|strong="H3808": yea|strong="H1571", who|strong="H4310" knoweth not|strong="H3808" such|strong="H3644" things|strong="H3644" as|strong="H3644" these?
4 I|strong="H7121" am|strong="H1961" as|strong="H1961" one|strong="H6662" that|strong="H7121" is|strong="H6662" a|strong="H3068" laughing-stock to|strong="H1961" his|strong="H7121" neighbour|strong="H7453", a man that|strong="H7121" called|strong="H7121" upon|strong="H7121" God, and|strong="H6030" he|strong="H7121" answered|strong="H6030" him|strong="H7121": the|strong="H7121" just|strong="H6662", the|strong="H7121" perfect|strong="H8549" man|strong="H6662" is|strong="H6662" a|strong="H3068" laughing-stock.
5 In|strong="H3559" the|strong="H3559" thought|strong="H6248" of|strong="H7272" him|strong="H3559" that|strong="H3559" is at ease|strong="H7600" there is contempt for|strong="H3559" misfortune; it|strong="H3559" is ready|strong="H3559" for|strong="H3559" them|strong="H3559" whose foot|strong="H7272" slippeth.
6 The|strong="H3027" tents of|strong="H3027" robbers|strong="H7703" prosper|strong="H7951", and|strong="H3027" they|strong="H3027" that|strong="H3027" provoke|strong="H7264" God|strong="H3027" are|strong="H3027" secure; into|strong="H3027" whose hand|strong="H3027" God|strong="H3027" bringeth abundantly.
7 But ask|strong="H7592" now|strong="H4994" the|strong="H5046" beasts, and|strong="H8064" they shall|strong="H8064" teach|strong="H3384" thee|strong="H7592"; and|strong="H8064" the|strong="H5046" fowls|strong="H5775" of|strong="H7592" the|strong="H5046" air|strong="H8064", and|strong="H8064" they shall|strong="H8064" tell|strong="H5046" thee|strong="H7592":
8 Or|strong="H5608" speak|strong="H7878" to|strong="H3220" the|strong="H5608" earth, and|strong="H3220" it shall|strong="H3220" teach|strong="H3384" thee; and|strong="H3220" the|strong="H5608" fishes|strong="H1709" of|strong="H3220" the|strong="H5608" sea|strong="H3220" shall|strong="H3220" declare|strong="H5608" unto|strong="H3220" thee.
9 Who|strong="H4310" knoweth|strong="H3045" not|strong="H3808" in|strong="H3068" all|strong="H3605" these|strong="H2063", that|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" hand|strong="H3027" of|strong="H3068" LORD|strong="H3068" hath|strong="H3068" wrought|strong="H6213" this|strong="H2063"?
10 In|strong="H1320" whose|strong="H3605" hand|strong="H3027" is|strong="H5315" the|strong="H3605" soul|strong="H5315" of|strong="H3027" every|strong="H3605" living|strong="H2416" thing|strong="H2416", and|strong="H3027" the|strong="H3605" breath|strong="H7307" of|strong="H3027" all|strong="H3605" mankind|strong="H1320".
11 Doth not|strong="H3808" the|strong="H3808" ear try words|strong="H4405", even|strong="H3808" as|strong="H2441" the|strong="H3808" palate|strong="H2441" tasteth|strong="H2938" its|strong="H4405" meat?
12 With|strong="H3117" aged|strong="H3453" men|strong="H3453" is|strong="H3117" wisdom|strong="H2451", and|strong="H3117" in|strong="H3117" length|strong="H3117" of|strong="H3117" days|strong="H3117" understanding|strong="H8394".
13 With|strong="H5973" him|strong="H5973" is|strong="H2451" wisdom|strong="H2451" and|strong="H2451" might|strong="H1369"; he|strong="H8394" hath|strong="H8394" counsel|strong="H6098" and|strong="H2451" understanding|strong="H8394".
14 Behold|strong="H2005", he|strong="H3808" breaketh down|strong="H2040", and|strong="H1129" it|strong="H5921" cannot|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" built|strong="H1129" again|strong="H1129"; he|strong="H3808" shutteth up|strong="H5462" a|strong="H3068" man, and|strong="H1129" there can|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" no|strong="H3808" opening|strong="H6605".
15 Behold|strong="H2005", he|strong="H7971" withholdeth|strong="H6113" the|strong="H7971" waters|strong="H4325", and|strong="H7971" they dry|strong="H3001" up|strong="H3001"; again|strong="H7971", he|strong="H7971" sendeth|strong="H7971" them|strong="H7971" out|strong="H7971", and|strong="H7971" they overturn|strong="H2015" the|strong="H7971" earth.
16 With|strong="H5973" him|strong="H5973" is|strong="H8454" strength|strong="H5797" and|strong="H5797" effectual working|strong="H8454"; the|strong="H5973" deceived|strong="H7683" and|strong="H5797" the|strong="H5973" deceiver|strong="H7686" are|strong="H5973" his|strong="H5973".
17 He|strong="H8199" leadeth|strong="H3212" counsellors|strong="H3289" away|strong="H3212" spoiled|strong="H7758", and|strong="H3212" judges|strong="H8199" maketh he|strong="H8199" fools|strong="H1984".
18 He|strong="H4428" looseth|strong="H6605" the|strong="H6605" bond|strong="H4148" of|strong="H4428" kings|strong="H4428", and|strong="H4428" bindeth their loins|strong="H4975" with|strong="H4428" a|strong="H3068" girdle.
19 He|strong="H3212" leadeth|strong="H3212" priests|strong="H3548" away|strong="H3212" spoiled|strong="H7758", and|strong="H3212" overthroweth|strong="H5557" the|strong="H3548" mighty.
20 He|strong="H2205" removeth the|strong="H3947" speech|strong="H8193" of|strong="H2205" the|strong="H3947" trusty, and|strong="H2205" taketh|strong="H3947" away|strong="H5493" the|strong="H3947" understanding|strong="H2940" of|strong="H2205" the|strong="H3947" elders|strong="H2205".
21 He|strong="H5921" poureth|strong="H8210" contempt upon|strong="H5921" princes|strong="H5081", and|strong="H5921" looseth the|strong="H5921" belt|strong="H4206" of|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" strong.
22 He|strong="H4480" discovereth|strong="H1540" deep|strong="H6013" things|strong="H1540" out|strong="H3318" of|strong="H4480" darkness|strong="H2822", and|strong="H3318" bringeth|strong="H3318" out|strong="H3318" to|strong="H3318" light the|strong="H4480" shadow|strong="H6757" of|strong="H4480" death|strong="H6757".
23 He increaseth|strong="H7679" the|strong="H5148" nations|strong="H1471", and|strong="H1471" destroyeth them|strong="H5148": he spreadeth the|strong="H5148" nations|strong="H1471" abroad|strong="H7849", and|strong="H1471" bringeth|strong="H5148" them|strong="H5148" in|strong="H1471".
24 He|strong="H3808" taketh away|strong="H5493" the|strong="H5493" heart|strong="H3820" of|strong="H7218" the|strong="H5493" chiefs|strong="H7218" of|strong="H7218" the|strong="H5493" people|strong="H5971" of|strong="H7218" the|strong="H5493" earth, and|strong="H5971" causeth them|strong="H8582" to|strong="H3820" wander|strong="H8582" in|strong="H5493" a|strong="H3068" wilderness|strong="H8414" where|strong="H3808" there is|strong="H3820" no|strong="H3808" way|strong="H1870".
25 They|strong="H3808" grope|strong="H4959" in|strong="H3808" the|strong="H3808" dark|strong="H2822" without|strong="H3808" light, and|strong="H2822" he|strong="H3808" maketh them|strong="H8582" to|strong="H3808" stagger|strong="H8582" like|strong="H3808" a|strong="H3068" drunken|strong="H7910" man|strong="H7910".
