Job Chapter 12 - King James Strong Number Version

1: And Job <H0347> answered <H6030> and said, <H0559>
2: No doubt <H0551> but ye [are] the people, <H5971> and wisdom <H2451> shall die <H4191> with you.
3: But <H1571> I have understanding <H3824> as well as you; <H3644> I [am] not inferior <H5307> to you: yea, who knoweth not such things <H3644> as these?
4: I am [as] one mocked <H7814> of his neighbour, <H7453> who calleth <H7121> upon God, <H0433> and he answereth <H6030> him: the just <H6662> upright <H8549> [man is] laughed to scorn. <H7814>
5: He that is ready <H3559> to slip <H4571> with [his] feet <H7272> [is as] a lamp <H3940> despised <H0937> in the thought <H6248> of him that is at ease. <H7600>
6: The tabernacles <H0168> of robbers <H7703> prosper, <H7951> and they that provoke <H7264> God <H0410> are secure; <H0987> into whose hand <H3027> God <H0433> bringeth <H0935> [abundantly].
7: But <H0199> ask <H7592> now the beasts, <H0929> and they shall teach <H3384> thee; and the fowls <H5775> of the air, <H8064> and they shall tell <H5046> thee:
8: Or speak <H7878> to the earth, <H0776> and it shall teach <H3384> thee: and the fishes <H1709> of the sea <H3220> shall declare <H5608> unto thee.
9: Who knoweth <H3045> not in all these that the hand <H3027> of the LORD <H3068> hath wrought <H6213> this?
10: In whose hand <H3027> [is] the soul <H5315> of every living thing, <H2416> and the breath <H7307> of all mankind. <H0376> <H1320>
11: Doth not the ear <H0241> try <H0974> words? <H4405> and the mouth <H2441> taste <H2938> his meat? <H0400>
12: With the ancient <H3453> [is] wisdom; <H2451> and in length <H0753> of days <H3117> understanding. <H8394>
13: With him [is] wisdom <H2451> and strength, <H1369> he hath counsel <H6098> and understanding. <H8394>
14: Behold, he breaketh down, <H2040> and it cannot <H3808> be built <H1129> again: he shutteth <H5462> up a man, <H0376> and there can be no <H3808> opening. <H6605>
15: Behold, he withholdeth <H6113> the waters, <H4325> and they dry up: <H3001> also he sendeth them out, <H7971> and they overturn <H2015> the earth. <H0776>
16: With him [is] strength <H5797> and wisdom: <H8454> the deceived <H7683> and the deceiver <H7686> [are] his.
17: He leadeth <H3212> counsellors <H3289> away spoiled, <H7758> and maketh the judges <H8199> fools. <H1984>
18: He looseth <H6605> the bond <H4148> of kings, <H4428> and girdeth <H0631> their loins <H4975> with a girdle. <H0232>
19: He leadeth <H3212> princes <H3548> away spoiled, <H7758> and overthroweth <H5557> the mighty. <H0386>
20: He removeth away <H5493> the speech <H8193> of the trusty, <H0539> and taketh away <H3947> the understanding <H2940> of the aged. <H2205>
21: He poureth <H8210> contempt <H0937> upon princes, <H5081> and weakeneth <H7503> the strength <H4206> of the mighty. <H0650>
22: He discovereth <H1540> deep things <H6013> out of darkness, <H2822> and bringeth out <H3318> to light <H0216> the shadow of death. <H6757>
23: He increaseth <H7679> the nations, <H1471> and destroyeth <H0006> them: he enlargeth <H7849> the nations, <H1471> and straiteneth <H5148> them [again].
24: He taketh away <H5493> the heart <H3820> of the chief <H7218> of the people <H5971> of the earth, <H0776> and causeth them to wander <H8582> in a wilderness <H8414> [where there is] no way. <H1870>
25: They grope <H4959> in the dark <H2822> without light, <H0216> and he maketh them to stagger <H8582> like [a] drunken <H7910> [man].
