¹ And Job answered and said, Cross refs

² No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. Cross refs

³ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these? Cross refs

⁴ I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn. Cross refs

⁵ He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease. Cross refs

⁶ The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly. Cross refs

⁷ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: Cross refs

⁸ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Cross refs

⁹ Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? Cross refs

¹⁰ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Cross refs

¹¹ Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? Cross refs

¹² With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. Cross refs

¹³ With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. Cross refs

¹⁴ Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. Cross refs

¹⁵ Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. Cross refs

¹⁶ With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. Cross refs

¹⁷ He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. Cross refs

¹⁸ He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle. Cross refs

¹⁹ He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty. Cross refs

²⁰ He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged. Cross refs

²¹ He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. Cross refs

²² He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. Cross refs

²³ He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again. Cross refs

²⁴ 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. Cross refs

²⁵ They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man. Cross refs
