Job 12

1 And Job answered and said,

And he answered Job and he said.

2 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

Truly that you [are the] people and with you it will die wisdom.

3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

Also [belongs] to me a heart - like you not [am] falling I more than you and with whom? [are] there not like these [things].

4 I am as one mocked by his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is mocked.

A laughingstock to friend his - I am [one who] called to God and he answered him [is] a laughingstock a righteous [person] a blameless [person].

5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

[belongs] to Disaster contempt to [the] thought of [one] at ease a push [belongs] to [those who] are sliding of foot.

6 The tents of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

They are at peace [the] tents - of destroyers and securiti [belong] to provokers of God to [those] whom he has brought God in hand his.

7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

And but ask please [the] animals so it may teach you and [the] bird[s] of the heavens so it may tell to you.

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

Or complain to the earth so it may teach you and they may recount to you [the] fish of the sea.

9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?

Who? not does it know among all these for [the] hand of Yahweh it has done this.

10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

[he] whom [is] in Hand his [the] life of every living [thing] and [the] breath of all flesh of humankind.

11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste its food?

¿ Not an ear words does it test and a palate food it tastes itself.
