And JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
No doubtH551 but ye are the peopleH5971, and wisdomH2451 shall dieH4191 with you.
ButH1571 I have understandingH3824 as well as you; I am not inferiorH5307 to you: yea, who knoweth not such thingsH3644 as these? {understanding: Heb. an heart} {I am…: Heb. I fall not lower than you} {who…: Heb. with whom are not such as these?}
I am as one mockedH7814 of his neighbourH7453, who callethH7121 upon GodH433, and he answerethH6030 him: the justH6662 uprightH8549 man is laughed to scornH7814.
He that is readyH3559 to slipH4571 with his feetH7272 is as a lampH3940 despisedH937 in the thoughtH6248 of him that is at easeH7600.
The tabernaclesH168 of robbersH7703 prosperH7951, and they that provokeH7264 GodH410 are secureH987; into whose handH3027 GodH433 bringethH935 abundantly.
ButH199 askH7592 now the beastsH929, and they shall teachH3384 thee; and the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064, and they shall tellH5046 thee:
Or speakH7878 to the earthH776, and it shall teachH3384 thee: and the fishesH1709 of the seaH3220 shall declareH5608 unto thee.
Who knowethH3045 not in all these that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 hath wroughtH6213 this?
In whose handH3027 is the soulH5315 of every living thingH2416, and the breathH7307 of all mankindH376+H1320. {soul: or, life} {all…: Heb. all flesh of man}
Doth not the earH241 tryH974 wordsH4405? and the mouthH2441 tasteH2938 his meatH400? {mouth: Heb. palate}
With the ancientH3453 is wisdomH2451; and in lengthH753 of daysH3117 understandingH8394.
With him is wisdomH2451 and strengthH1369, he hath counselH6098 and understandingH8394. {With…: that is, With God}
Behold, he breaketh downH2040, and it cannot be built againH1129: he shutteth upH5462 a manH376, and there can be no openingH6605. {up: Heb. upon}
Behold, he withholdethH6113 the watersH4325, and they dry upH3001: also he sendeth them outH7971, and they overturnH2015 the earthH776.
With him is strengthH5797 and wisdomH8454: the deceivedH7683 and the deceiverH7686 are his.
He leadethH3212 counsellorsH3289 away spoiledH7758, and maketh the judgesH8199 foolsH1984.
He loosethH6605 the bondH4148 of kingsH4428, and girdethH631 their loinsH4975 with a girdleH232.
He leadethH3212 princesH3548 away spoiledH7758, and overthrowethH5557 the mightyH386.
He removeth awayH5493 the speechH8193 of the trustyH539, and taketh awayH3947 the understandingH2940 of the agedH2205. {speech…: Heb. lip of the faithful}
He pourethH8210 contemptH937 upon princesH5081, and weakenethH7503 the strengthH4206 of the mightyH650. {weakeneth…: or, looseth the girdle of the strong}
He discoverethH1540 deep thingsH6013 out of darknessH2822, and bringeth outH3318 to lightH216 the shadow of deathH6757.
He increasethH7679 the nationsH1471, and destroyethH6 them: he enlargethH7849 the nationsH1471, and straitenethH5148 them again. {straiteneth: Heb. leadeth in}
He taketh awayH5493 the heartH3820 of the chiefH7218 of the peopleH5971 of the earthH776, and causeth them to wanderH8582 in a wildernessH8414 where there is no wayH1870.
They gropeH4959 in the darkH2822 without lightH216, and he maketh them to staggerH8582 like a drunkenH7910 man. {stagger: Heb. wander}

And that he would shewH5046 thee the secretsH8587 of wisdomH2451, that they are doubleH3718 to that which isH8454! KnowH3045 therefore that GodH433 exactethH5382 of thee less than thine iniquityH5771 deserveth.
Let darknessH2822 and the shadow of deathH6757 stainH1350 it; let a cloudH6053 dwellH7931 upon it; let the blacknessH3650 of the dayH3117 terrifyH1204 it. {stain: or, challenge} {let the…: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day}
WhenceH370 then comethH935 wisdomH2451? and where is the placeH4725 of understandingH998?
Seeing it is hidH5956 from the eyesH5869 of all livingH2416, and kept closeH5641 from the fowlsH5775 of the airH8064. {air: or, heaven}
DestructionH11 and deathH4194 sayH559, We have heardH8085 the fameH8088 thereof with our earsH241.
GodH430 understandethH995 the wayH1870 thereof, and he knowethH3045 the placeH4725 thereof.
For the morningH1242 is to them even asH3162 the shadow of deathH6757: if one knowH5234 them, they are in the terrorsH1091 of the shadow of deathH6757.
And oneH259 of his servantsH5650 saidH559, None, my lordH113, O kingH4428: but ElishaH477, the prophetH5030 that is in IsraelH3478, tellethH5046 the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 the wordsH1697 that thou speakestH1696 in thy bedchamberH2315+H4904. {None: Heb. No}
There is no darknessH2822, nor shadow of deathH6757, where the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 may hideH5641 themselves.
Seek him that makethH6213 the seven starsH3598 and OrionH3685, and turnethH2015 the shadow of deathH6757 into the morningH1242, and maketh the dayH3117 darkH2821 with nightH3915: that callethH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them outH8210 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776: The LORDH3068 is his nameH8034:
Yea, the darknessH2822 hidethH2821 not from thee; but the nightH3915 shinethH215 as the dayH3117: the darknessH2825 and the lightH219 are both alike to thee. {hideth…: Heb. darkeneth not} {the darkness and…: Heb. as is the darkness, so is the light}
To give lightG2014 to them that sitG2521 inG1722 darknessG4655 andG2532 in the shadowG4639 of deathG2288, to guideG2720 ourG2257 feetG4228 intoG1519 the wayG3598 of peaceG1515.
He revealethH1541 the deepH5994 and secret thingsH5642: he knowethH3046 whatH4101 is in the darknessH2816, and the lightH5094 dwellethH8271 with himH5974.
FearG5399 themG846 notG3361 thereforeG3767: forG1063 there isG2076 nothingG3762 coveredG2572, thatG3739 shallG601 notG3756 be revealedG601; andG2532 hidG2927, thatG3739 shallG1097 notG3756 be knownG1097.
ButG1161 GodG2316 hath revealedG601 them unto usG2254 byG1223 hisG846 SpiritG4151: forG1063 the SpiritG4151 searchethG2045 all thingsG3956, yeaG2532, the deep thingsG899 of GodG2316.
ThereforeG5620 judgeG2919 nothingG3361+G5100 beforeG4253 the timeG2540, untilG2193+G302 the LordG2962 comeG2064, whoG3739 bothG2532 will bring to lightG5461 the hidden thingsG2927 of darknessG4655, andG2532 will make manifestG5319 the counselsG1012 of the heartsG2588: andG2532 thenG5119 shall every manG1538 haveG1096 praiseG1868 ofG575 GodG2316.
