Verses of Job 12 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Then Job replied:
2 - "Doubtless you are the people, and wisdom will die with you!
3 - But I have a mind as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know all these things?
4 - "I have become a laughingstock to my friends, though I called upon God and he answered- a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!
5 - Men at ease have contempt for misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
6 - The tents of marauders are undisturbed, and those who provoke God are secure- those who carry their god in their hands.
7 - "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
8 - or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you.
9 - Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?
10 - In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
11 - Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food?
12 - Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?
13 - "To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.
14 - What he tears down cannot be rebuilt; the man he imprisons cannot be released.
15 - If he holds back the waters, there is drought; if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.
16 - To him belong strength and victory; both deceived and deceiver are his.
17 - He leads counselors away stripped and makes fools of judges.
18 - He takes off the shackles put on by kings and ties a loincloth around their waist.
19 - He leads priests away stripped and overthrows men long established.
20 - He silences the lips of trusted advisers and takes away the discernment of elders.
21 - He pours contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty.
22 - He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into the light.
23 - He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them.
24 - He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason; he sends them wandering through a trackless waste.
25 - They grope in darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.
