1. Then Job answered:
2. No doubt you are the people,and wisdom will die with you!
3. But I also have a mind;I am not inferior to you.Who doesn’t know the things you are talking about?
4. I am a laughingstock to my friends,by calling on God, who answers me. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock.
5. The one who is at ease holds calamity in contemptand thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.
6. The tents of robbers are safe, and those who provoke God are secure;God’s power provides this.
7. But ask the animals, and they will instruct you;ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
8. Or speak to the earth, and it will instruct you;let the fish of the sea inform you.
9. Which of all these does not knowthat the hand of the Lord has done this?
10. The life of every living thing is in His hand,as well as the breath of all mankind.
11. Doesn’t the ear test wordsas the palate tastes food?
