1. And Job answered and said,
2. No doubt you are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
3. But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knows not such things as these?
4. I am as one mocked of his neighbor, who calls upon God, and he answers him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
5. He that is ready to slip with his feet is like a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
6. The tents of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God brings abundantly.
7. But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell you:
8. Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you: and the fish of the sea shall declare unto you.
9. Who knows not among all these that the hand of the LORD has done this?
10. In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
