12:1	Sotheli Joob answeride, and seide,
12:2	Therfor ben ye men aloone, that wisdom dwelle with you?
12:3	And to me is an herte, as and to you, and Y am not lowere than ye; for who knowith not these thingis, whiche ye knowen?
12:4	He that is scorned of his frend, as Y am, schal inwardli clepe God, and God schal here hym; for the symplenesse of a iust man is scorned.
12:5	A laumpe is dispisid at the thouytis of riche men, and the laumpe is maad redi to a tyme ordeyned.
12:6	The tabernaclis of robberis ben plenteuouse, `ether ful of goodis; and boldli thei terren God to wraththe, whanne he hath youe alle thingis in to her hondis.
12:7	No wondur, ax thou beestis, and tho schulen teche thee; and axe thou volatilis of the eir, and tho schulen schewe to thee.
12:8	Speke thou to the erthe, and it schal answere thee; and the fischis of the see schulen telle tho thingis.
12:9	Who knowith not that the hond of the Lord made alle these thingis?
12:10	In whos hond the soule is of ech lyuynge thing, and the spirit, `that is, resonable soule, of ech fleisch of man.
12:11	Whether the eere demeth not wordis, and the chekis of the etere demen sauour?
12:12	Wisdom is in elde men, and prudence is in myche tyme.
12:13	Wisdom and strengthe is at God; he hath counsel and vndurstondyng.
12:14	If he distrieth, no man is that bildith; if he schittith in a man, `noon is that openith.
12:15	If he holdith togidere watris, alle thingis schulen be maad drie; if he sendith out tho watris, tho schulen distrie the erthe.
12:16	Strengthe and wisdom is at God; he knowith bothe hym that disseyueth and hym that is disseyued.
12:17	And he bryngith conselours in to a fonned eende, and iugis in to wondryng, ethir astonying.
12:18	He vnbindith the girdil of kyngis, and girdith her reynes with a coorde.

12:24	Which chaungith the herte of princes of the puple of erthe; and disseyueth hem, that thei go in veyn out of the weie.
12:25	Thei schulen grope, as in derknessis, and not in liyt; and he schal make hem to erre as drunken men.


12:1	Then Iob answered, and sayde,
12:2	In deede because that ye are the people onely, wisedome must dye with you.
12:3	But I haue vnderstanding aswel as you, and am not inferior vnto you: yea, who knoweth not such things?
12:4	I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he heareth him: the iust and the vpright is laughed to scorne.
12:5	Hee that is readie to fall, is as a lampe despised in the opinion of the riche.
12:6	The tabernacles of robbers doe prosper, and they are in safetie, that prouoke God, whome God hath enriched with his hand.
12:7	Aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the foules of the heauen, and they shall tell thee:
12:8	Or speake to the earth, and it shall shewe thee: or the fishes of the sea, and they shall declare vnto thee.
12:9	Who is ignorant of all these, but that the hande of the Lord hath made these?
12:10	In whose hande is the soule of euery liuing thing, and the breath of all mankinde.
12:11	Doeth not the eares discerne the words? and the mouth taste meate for it selfe?
12:12	Among the ancient is wisedome, and in the length of dayes is vnderstanding.
12:13	With him is wisedome and strength: he hath counsell and vnderstanding.
12:14	Beholde, he will breake downe, and it can not be built: he shutteth a man vp, and he can not be loosed.
12:15	Beholde, he withholdeth the waters, and they drie vp: but when he sendeth them out, they destroy the earth.
12:16	With him is strength and wisedome: hee that is deceiued, and that deceiueth, are his.
12:17	He causeth the counsellers to goe as spoyled, and maketh the iudges fooles.
12:18	He looseth the collar of Kings, and girdeth their loynes with a girdle.
12:19	He leadeth away the princes as a pray, and ouerthroweth the mightie.
12:20	He taketh away the speach from the faithfull counsellers, and taketh away the iudgement of the ancient.
12:21	He powreth contempt vpon princes, and maketh the strength of the mightie weake.
12:22	He discouereth the deepe places from their darkenesse, and bringeth foorth the shadowe of death to light.
12:23	He increaseth the people, and destroyeth them: he inlargeth the nations, and bringeth them in againe.
12:24	He taketh away the heartes of the that are the chiefe ouer the people of the earth, and maketh them to wander in the wildernes out of the way.
12:25	They grope in the darke without light: and he maketh the to stagger like a drunken man.
