Job 12:1-8

1. 1 And Job answered and said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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