욥기 12장 [NIV]
-
1 Then Job replied:
-
2 "Doubtless you are the people, and wisdom will die with you!
-
3 But I have a mind as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know all these things?
-
4 "I have become a laughingstock to my friends, though I called upon God and he answered--a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!
-
5 Men at ease have contempt for misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
-
6 The tents of marauders are undisturbed, and those who provoke God are secure--those who carry their god in their hands.
-
7 "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
-
8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea inform you.
-
9 Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?
-
10 In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind.
-
11 Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food?
-
12 Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?
-
13 "To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.
-
14 What he tears down cannot be rebuilt; the man he imprisons cannot be released.
-
15 If he holds back the waters, there is drought; if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.
-
16 To him belong strength and victory; both deceived and deceiver are his.
-
17 He leads counselors away stripped and makes fools of judges.
-
18 He takes off the shackles put on by kings and ties a loincloth around their waist.
-
19 He leads priests away stripped and overthrows men long established.
-
20 He silences the lips of trusted advisers and takes away the discernment of elders.
-
21 He pours contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty.
-
22 He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into the light.
-
23 He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them.
-
24 He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason; he sends them wandering through a trackless waste.
-
25 They grope in darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.
