Job - Chapter: 12


12:1	And Job answered and said,
12:2	No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
12:3	But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
12:4	I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
12:5	He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
12:6	The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
12:7	But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
12:8	Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
12:9	Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
12:10	In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
12:11	Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
12:12	With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
12:13	With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
12:14	Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
12:15	Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
12:16	With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
12:17	He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
12:18	He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
12:19	He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
12:20	He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
12:21	He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
12:22	He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
12:23	He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
12:24	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.
12:25	They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.


12:1	ויען איוב ויאמר׃
12:2	אמנם כי אתם עם ועמכם תמות חכמה׃
12:3	גם לי לבב כמוכם לא נפל אנכי מכם ואת מי אין כמו אלה׃
12:4	שׂחק לרעהו אהיה קרא לאלוה ויענהו שׂחוק צדיק תמים׃
12:5	לפיד בוז לעשׁתות שׁאנן נכון למועדי רגל׃
12:6	ישׁליו אהלים לשׁדדים ובטחות למרגיזי אל לאשׁר הביא אלוה בידו׃
12:7	ואולם שׁאל נא בהמות ותרך ועוף השׁמים ויגד׃
12:8	או שׂיח לארץ ותרך ויספרו לך דגי הים׃
12:9	מי לא ידע בכל אלה כי יד יהוה עשׂתה זאת׃
12:10	אשׁר בידו נפשׁ כל חי ורוח כל בשׂר אישׁ׃
12:11	הלא אזן מלין תבחן וחך אכל יטעם׃
12:12	בישׁישׁים חכמה וארך ימים תבונה׃
12:13	עמו חכמה וגבורה לו עצה ותבונה׃
12:14	הן יהרוס ולא יבנה יסגר על אישׁ ולא יפתח׃
12:15	הן יעצר במים ויבשׁו וישׁלחם ויהפכו ארץ׃
12:16	עמו עז ותושׁיה לו שׁגג ומשׁגה׃
12:17	מוליך יועצים שׁולל ושׁפטים יהולל׃
12:18	מוסר מלכים פתח ויאסר אזור במתניהם׃
12:19	מוליך כהנים שׁולל ואתנים יסלף׃
12:20	מסיר שׂפה לנאמנים וטעם זקנים יקח׃
12:21	שׁופך בוז על נדיבים ומזיח אפיקים רפה׃
12:22	מגלה עמקות מני חשׁך ויצא לאור צלמות׃
12:23	משׂגיא לגוים ויאבדם שׁטח לגוים וינחם׃
12:24	מסיר לב ראשׁי עם הארץ ויתעם בתהו לא דרך׃
12:25	ימשׁשׁו חשׁך ולא אור ויתעם כשׁכור׃


12:1	And Job answereth and saith: --
12:2	Truly -- ye `are' the people, And with you doth wisdom die.
12:3	I also have a heart like you, I am not fallen more than you, And with whom is there not like these?
12:4	A laughter to his friend I am: `He calleth to God, and He answereth him,' A laughter `is' the perfect righteous one.
12:5	A torch -- despised in the thoughts of the secure Is prepared for those sliding with the feet.
12:6	At peace are the tents of spoilers, And those provoking God have confidence, He into whose hand God hath brought.
12:7	And yet, ask, I pray thee, `One of' the beasts, and it doth shew thee, And a fowl of the heavens, And it doth declare to thee.
12:8	Or talk to the earth, and it sheweth thee, And fishes of the sea recount to thee:
12:9	`Who hath not known in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath done this?
12:10	In whose hand `is' the breath of every living thing, And the spirit of all flesh of man.'
12:11	Doth not the ear try words? And the palate taste food for itself?
12:12	With the very aged `is' wisdom, And `with' length of days understanding.
12:13	With Him `are' wisdom and might, To him `are' counsel and understanding.
12:14	Lo, He breaketh down, and it is not built up, He shutteth against a man, And it is not opened.
12:15	Lo, He keepeth in the waters, and they are dried up, And he sendeth them forth, And they overturn the land.
12:16	With Him `are' strength and wisdom, His the deceived and deceiver.
12:17	Causing counsellors to go away a spoil, And judges He maketh foolish.
12:18	The bands of kings He hath opened, And He bindeth a girdle on their loins.
12:19	Causing ministers to go away a spoil And strong ones He overthroweth.
12:20	Turning aside the lip of the stedfast, And the reason of the aged He taketh away.
12:21	Pouring contempt upon princes, And the girdle of the mighty He made feeble.
12:22	Removing deep things out of darkness, And He bringeth out to light death-shade.
12:23	Magnifying the nations, and He destroyeth them, Spreading out the nations, and He quieteth them.
12:24	Turning aside the heart Of the heads of the people of the land, And he causeth them to wander In vacancy -- no way!
12:25	They feel darkness, and not light, He causeth them to wander as a drunkard.
