New Testament

Job 12:1-8 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

1. And Job answered and said,

2. Truly ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you!

3. I also have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you; and who knoweth not such things as these?

4. I am to be one that is a derision to his friend, I who call upon +God and whom he will answer: a derision is the just upright man.

5. He that is ready to stumble with the foot is a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

6. The tents of desolators are in peace, and they that provoke ·God are secure; into whose hand +God bringeth.

7. But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowl of the heavens, and they shall tell thee;

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