| Job 12 Text (WEB)
|
- Then Job answered,
- "No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
- But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn't know such things as these?
- I am like one who is a joke to his neighbor, I, who called on God, and he answered. The just, the blameless man is a joke.
- In the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune. It is ready for them whose foot slips.
- The tents of robbers prosper. Those who provoke God are secure, who carry their God in their hands.
- "But ask the animals, now, and they shall teach you; the birds of the sky, and they shall tell you.
- Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you. The fish of the sea shall declare to you.
- Who doesn't know that in all these, the hand of Yahweh has done this,
- in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind?
- Doesn't the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?
- With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.
- "With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding.
- Behold, he breaks down, and it can't be built again. He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
- Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
- With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his.
- He leads counselors away stripped. He makes judges fools.
- He loosens the bond of kings. He binds their waist with a belt.
- He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty.
- He removes the speech of those who are trusted, and takes away the understanding of the elders.
- He pours contempt on princes, and loosens the belt of the strong.
- He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
- He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive.
- He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
- They grope in the dark without light. He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

| Job 12 Text (Hebrew)
|
- ויען איוב ויאמר׃
- אמנם כי אתם־עם ועםכם תמות חכמה׃
- גם־לי לבב כמוכמ לא־נפל אנכי םכם ואת־מי־אין כמו־אלה׃
- שחק לרעהו אהיה קרא לאלוה ויענהו שחוק צדיק תמים׃
- לפיד בוז לעשתות שאןן נכון למועדי רגל׃
- ישליו אהלים לשדדימ ובטחות למרגיזי אל לאשר הביא אלוה בידו׃
- ואולם שאל־נא בהמות ותרך ועוף השמים ויגד־לך׃
- או שיח לארץ ותרך ויספרו לך דגי הים׃
- מי לא־ידע בכל־אלה כי יד־יהוה עשתה זאת׃
- אשר בידו נפש כל־חי ורוח כל־בשר־איש׃
- הלא־אזן מלין תבחן וחך אכל יטעם־לו׃
- בישישים חכמה וארך ימים תבונה׃
- עמו חכמה וגבורה לו עצה ותבונה׃
- הן יהרוס ולא יבנה יסגר על־איש ולא יפתח׃
- הן יעצר במים ויבשו וישלחם ויהפכו ארץ׃
- עמו עז ותושיה לו שגג ומשגה׃
- מוליך יועצים שולל ושפטים יהולל׃
- מוסר מלכים פתח ויאסר אזור במתניהם׃
- מוליך כהנים שולל ואתנים יסלף׃
- מסיר שפה לנאמנים וטעם זקנים יקח׃
- שופך בוז על־נדיבים ומזיח אפיקים רפה׃
- מגלה עמקות מני־חשך ויצא לאור צלמות׃
- משגיא לגוים ויאבדם שטח לגוים וינחם׃
- מסיר לב ראשי עם־הארץ ויתעם בתהו לא־דרך׃
- ימששו־חשך ולא־אור ויתעם כשכור׃

| Job 12 Text (Latin)
|
- Respondens autem Job, dixit :
- Ergo vos estis soli homines, et vobiscum morietur sapientia ?
- Et mihi est cor sicut et vobis, nec inferior vestri sum ; quis enim hæc quæ nostis ignorat ?
- Qui deridetur ab amico suo, sicut ego, invocabit Deum, et exaudiet eum ; deridetur enim justi simplicitas.
- Lampas contempta apud cogitationes divitum, parata ad tempus statutum.
- Abundant tabernacula prædonum, et audacter provocant Deum, cum ipse dederit omnia in manus eorum.
- Nimirum interroga jumenta, et docebunt te ; et volatilia cæli, et indicabunt tibi.
- Loquere terræ, et respondebit tibi ; et narrabunt pisces maris.
- Quis ignorat quod omnia hæc manus Domini fecerit ?
- In cujus manu anima omnis viventis, et spiritus universæ carnis hominis.
- Nonne auris verba dijudicat ? Et fauces comedentis, saporem ?
- In antiquis est sapientia, et in multo tempore prudentia.
- Apud ipsum est sapientia et fortitudo ; ipse habet consilium et intelligentiam.
- Si destruxerit, nemo est qui ædificet ; si incluserit hominem, nullus est qui aperiat.
- Si continuerit aquas, omnia siccabuntur ; et si emiserit eas, subvertent terram.
- Apud ipsum est fortitudo et sapientia ; ipse novit et decipientem, et eum qui decipitur.
- Adducit consiliarios in stultum finem, et judices in stuporem.
- Balteum regum dissolvit, et præcingit fune renes eorum.
- Ducit sacerdotes inglorios, et optimates supplantat ;
- commutans labium veracium, et doctrinam senum auferens.
- Effundit despectionem super principes, eos qui oppressi fuerant relevans.
- Qui revelat profunda de tenebris, et producit in lucem umbram mortis.
- Qui multiplicat gentes, et perdit eas, et subversas in integrum restituit.
- Qui immutat cor principum populi terræ, et decipit eos ut frustra incedant per invium.
- Palpabunt quasi in tenebris, et non in luce, et errare eos faciet quasi ebrios.

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