KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Then Job answered and said:
2 - "No doubt you are the people, And wisdom will die with you!
3 - But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Indeed, who does not know such things as these?
4 - "I am one mocked by his friends, Who called on God, and He answered him, The just and blameless who is ridiculed.
5 - A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease; It is made ready for those whose feet slip.
6 - The tents of robbers prosper, And those who provoke God are secure--In what God provides by His hand.
7 - "But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
8 - Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
9 - Who among all these does not know That the hand of the LORD has done this,
10 - In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?
11 - Does not the ear test words And the mouth taste its food?
12 - Wisdom is with aged men, And with length of days, understanding.
13 - "With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding.
14 - If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt; If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.
15 - If He withholds the waters, they dry up; If He sends them out, they overwhelm the earth.
16 - With Him are strength and prudence. The deceived and the deceiver are His.
17 - He leads counselors away plundered, And makes fools of the judges.
18 - He loosens the bonds of kings, And binds their waist with a belt.
19 - He leads princes away plundered, And overthrows the mighty.
20 - He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders.
21 - He pours contempt on princes, And disarms the mighty.
22 - He uncovers deep things out of darkness, And brings the shadow of death to light.
23 - He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them.
24 - He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, And makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.
25 - They grope in the dark without light, And He makes them stagger like a drunken man.
