<br />
<br />
<named id="1"/><sup>1</sup> Then Job answered and said: <br />
<br />
<named id="2"/><sup>2</sup> No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. <br />
<br />
<named id="3"/><sup>3</sup> But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you; yea, who knoweth not such things as these? <br />
<br />
<named id="4"/><sup>4</sup> I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbour, a man that called upon G-d, and He answered him; the just, the innocent man is a laughing-stock, <br />
<br />
<named id="5"/><sup>5</sup> A contemptible brand in the thought of him that is at ease, a thing ready for them whose foot slippeth.<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="6"/><sup>6</sup> The tents of robbers prosper, and they that provoke G-d are secure, in whatsoever G-d bringeth into their hand. <br />
<br />
<named id="7"/><sup>7</sup> But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee; <br />
<br />
<named id="8"/><sup>8</sup> Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee; <br />
<br />
<named id="9"/><sup>9</sup> Who knoweth not among all these, that the hand of HaShem hath wrought this? <br />
<br />
<named id="10"/><sup>10</sup> In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.-- <br />
<br />
<named id="11"/><sup>11</sup> Doth not the ear try words, even as the palate tasteth its food?<br />
<br />
<br />
<named id="12"/><sup>12</sup> Is wisdom with aged men, and understanding in length of days?-- <br />
<br />
<named id="13"/><sup>13</sup> With Him is wisdom and might; He hath counsel and understanding. <br />
<br />
<named id="14"/><sup>14</sup> Behold, He breaketh down, and it cannot be built again; He shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. <br />
<br />
<named id="15"/><sup>15</sup> Behold, He withholdeth the waters, and they dry up; also He sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. <br />
<br />
<named id="16"/><sup>16</sup> With Him is strength and sound wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are His. <br />
<br />
<named id="17"/><sup>17</sup> He leadeth counsellors away stripped, and judges maketh He fools. <br />
<br />
<named id="18"/><sup>18</sup> He looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth their loins with a girdle. <br />
<br />
<named id="19"/><sup>19</sup> He leadeth priests away stripped, and overthroweth the mighty. <br />
<br />
<named id="20"/><sup>20</sup> He removeth the speech of men of trust, and taketh away the sense of the elders. <br />
<br />
<named id="21"/><sup>21</sup> He poureth contempt upon princes, and looseth the belt of the strong. <br />
<br />
<named id="22"/><sup>22</sup> He uncovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. <br />
<br />
<named id="23"/><sup>23</sup> He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them; He enlargeth the nations, and leadeth them away. <br />
<br />
<named id="24"/><sup>24</sup> He taketh away the heart of the chiefs of the people of the land, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. <br />
<br />
<named id="25"/><sup>25</sup> They grope in the dark without light, and He maketh them to stagger like a drunken man. <br />
