Job's Fourth Speech: A Response to Zophar
Chapter 12
-
Then Job spoke again:
-
"You people really know everything, don't you? And when you die, wisdom will die with you!
-
Well, I know a few things myself-- and you're no better than I am. Who doesn't know these things you've been saying?
-
Yet my friends laugh at me, for I call on God and expect an answer. I am a just and blameless man, yet they laugh at me.
-
People who are at ease mock those in trouble. They give a push to people who are stumbling.
-
But robbers are left in peace, and those who provoke God live in safety-- though God keeps them in his power.
-
"Just ask the animals, and they will teach you. Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
-
Speak to the earth, and it will instruct you. Let the fish in the sea speak to you.
-
For they all know that my disaster has come from the hand of the LORD.
-
For the life of every living thing is in his hand, and the breath of every human being.
-
The ear tests the words it hears just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.
-
Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old.
-
"But true wisdom and power are found in God; counsel and understanding are his.
-
What he destroys cannot be rebuilt. When he puts someone in prison, there is no escape.
-
If he holds back the rain, the earth becomes a desert. If he releases the waters, they flood the earth.
-
Yes, strength and wisdom are his; deceivers and deceived are both in his power.
-
He leads counselors away, stripped of good judgment; wise judges become fools.
-
He removes the royal robe of kings. They are led away with ropes around their waist.
-
He leads priests away, stripped of status; he overthrows those with long years in power.
-
He silences the trusted adviser and removes the insight of the elders.
-
He pours disgrace upon princes and disarms the strong.
-
"He uncovers mysteries hidden in darkness; he brings light to the deepest gloom.
-
He builds up nations, and he destroys them. He expands nations, and he abandons them.
-
He strips kings of understanding and leaves them wandering in a pathless wasteland.
-
They grope in the darkness without a light. He makes them stagger like drunkards.
