book: Job

text: And Job answered and said,


text: No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.


text: But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?


text: I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.


text: He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.


text: The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.


text: But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:


text: Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.


text: Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?


text: In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.


text: Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?


text: With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.


text: With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.


text: Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.


text: Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.


text: With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.


text: He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.


text: He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.


text: He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.


text: He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.


text: He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.


text: He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.


text: He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.


text: 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.


text: They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
