CHAP. XII.
1 Iob accuseth his friends of ignorance. 7 Hee declareth the
might, and power of God, 17 And howe hee changeth the
course of things.
1 Then Iob answered, and sayde,
2 In deede because that ye are the people
onely, note wisedome must dye with you.
3 But I haue vnderstanding aswel as you, and
am not inferior vnto you: yea, who knoweth not
such things?
4 noteI am note as one mocked of his neighbour,
who calleth vpon God, and he note heareth him: the
iust and the vpright is laughed to scorne.
5 noteHee that is readie to fall, is as a lampe despised
in the opinion of the riche.
6 The tabernacles of robbers doe prosper, and
they are in safetie, that prouoke God, note whome
God hath enriched with his hand.
7 Aske now the beasts, note and they shall teach

The wisedome of God.
thee, and the foules of the heauen, and they shall
tell thee:
8 Or speake to the earth, and it shall shewe
thee: or the fishes of the sea, and they shall declare

9 Who is ignorant of all these, but that the
hande of the Lord hath made these?
10 In whose hande is the soule of euery liuing
thing, and the breath of all note mankinde.
11 Doeth not the eares note discerne the words?
and the mouth taste meate for it selfe?

in the length of dayes is vnderstanding.
13 With him is wisedome and strength: he
hath counsell and vnderstanding.
14 Beholde, he will breake downe, and it can
not be built: he shutteth a man vp, and he can
not be loosed.
15 Beholde, he withholdeth the waters, and
they drie vp: but when he sendeth them out, they
destroy the earth.
16 With him is strength and wisedome: hee
that is deceiued, and that note deceiueth, are his.
17 He causeth the counsellers to goe as spoyled,
and maketh the iudges fooles.
18 noteHe looseth note the collar of Kings, and girdeth
their loynes with a girdle.
19 He leadeth away the princes as a pray, and
ouerthroweth the mightie.
20 He taketh away the speach from the note faithfull
counsellers, and taketh away the iudgement
of the ancient.
21 He powreth contempt vpon princes, and
maketh the strength of the mightie weake.
22 He discouereth the deepe places from their
darkenesse, and bringeth foorth the shadowe of
death to light.
23 He note increaseth the people, and destroyeth
them: he inlargeth the nations, and bringeth
them in againe.
24 He taketh away the heartes of th&ebar; that are

them to wander in the wildernes out of the way.
25 They grope in the darke without light:
and he maketh th&ebar; to stagger like a drunken m&abar;.
