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.
