Job Chapter 12 - | Early Church Bible

1: And undertaking [G5274], Job says [G3004],
2: So then [G1534] you [G1473] are men , then [G2228] with [G3326] you [G1473] comes to an end [G5053] wisdom [G4678]?
3: also [to me [G2504] indeed [G3303] a heart [G2588] like [G2596] yours [G1473] There is .
4: For a just [G1342][G1063] man , and [G2532] blameless , was born [G1080] for [G1519] an object for taunts .
5: at [G1519] time [G5550] For [G1063] an appointed [G5002] [man] had been prepared [G2090] to fall [G4098] under [G5259] others ; house [G3624] also for [G5037] of him '[G1473] to be pillaged by [G5259] lawless ones . But let not however [G3756][G3375][G1161] any one [G3367] rely on [G3982] wicked [G4190] being he will be [considered] innocent ;
6: as many as [G3745] provoke to anger [G3949] the [G3588] Boss '[G2962], as if [G5613] not [G3780] also [G2532] their chastisement [G1473] there will be .
7: But indeed [G1211] ask [G2065] four-footed [beasts [G5074]! if [G1437] they should speak to you [G1473][G2036], or [G2228] birds [G4071] of the [G3588] raised-place-above (sky) '[G3772], if [G1437] they were able to report to you [G1473].
8: let tell in detail [G1555][G1161] And [G1161] land '[G1093]! if [G1437] it should expound to you [G1473][G5419]; and [G2532] will describe [G1834] to you [G1473] the [G3588] fishes [G2486] of the [G3588] sea [G2281].
9: Who [G5100] knew not [G3756][G1097] among [G1722] all [G3956] these [G3778], that [G3754] hand [G5495] of Boss '[G2962] made [G4160] these [G3778]?
10: Except [G1508] in [G1722] his hand [G5495][G1473] [is] the [G3588] life [G5590] of all [G3956] the [G3588] living [G2198], and [G2532] wind/spirit/breathing '[G4151] of every [G3956] man .
11: ear [G3775] indeed [G3303] For [G1063] words [G4487] scrutinizes [G1252], and the throat [G2995][G1161] grains [G4621] tastes [G1089].
12: In [G1722] a long [G4183] time [G5550] [is] wisdom [G4678]; and in [G1722][G1161] a long [G4183] existence [is] higher knowledge .
13: By [G3844] him [G1473] [is] wisdom [G4678] and [G2532] power [G1411]; with him [G1473] counsel [G1012] and [G2532] understanding [G4907].
14: If [G1437] he should throw down [G2598], who [G5100] will build up [G3618]? If [G1437] he locks [G2808] against [G2596] man , who [G5100] opens ?
15: If [G1437] he should restrain [G2967] the [G3588] water [G5204], he will dry [G3583] the [G3588] land '[G1093]; and if [G1437][G1161] he should let it loose , he destroys it [G1473] by eradication [G2690].
16: By [G3844] him [G1473] [is] might [G2904] and [G2532] strength [G2479]; in him [G1473] [is] higher knowledge and [G2532] understanding [G4907],
17: leading [G1236] counselors [G1010] [as] captives ; and judges [G2923][G1161] of land '[G1093] he amazes [G1839];
18: sitting kings upon [G1909] thrones [G2362], and [G2532] ties [G4019] a belt [G2223] on their loins [G3751][G1473];
19: sending [G1821] priests [G2409] [as] captives ; and mighty ones [G1413][G1161] of land '[G1093] he eradicates [G2690];
20: reconciling [G1259] lips [G5491] of trustworthy [G4103]; understanding [G4907][G1161] and [G1161] of elders [G4245] he knew [G1097];
21: pouring out [G1632] dishonor upon [G1909] rulers , but humble [G5011][G1161] he healed [G2390];
22: uncovering deeps from out of [G1537] darkness [G4655], and he leads [G1806][G1161] into [G1519] light [G5457] shadow [G4639] of death [G2288];
23: wandering [G4105] tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484], and [G2532] destroying them [G1473]; prostrating [G2693] tradition-peoples (ethnics) '[G1484], and [G2532] directing them [G1473];
24: reconciling [G1259] hearts [G2588] of rulers of land '[G1093], but wandering [G4105][G1161] them [G1473] in [G1722] way [G3598] which [G3739] they do not [G3756] know [G1492].
25: May they handle [G5584] darkness [G4655], and [G2532] not [G3361] light [G5457]; may they be wandering [G4105][G1161] as if [G5618] one the [G3588] being intoxicated [G3184].
