Job 12:1-10 ▼

1 So Iob aunswered, & saide:

2 Then no doubt ye are the men alone, and wysdome shall perishe with you.

3 But I haue vnderstanding aswell as ye, and am not inferior to you: Yea who knoweth not these thinges?

4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, & he heareth him: The iust & the vpright is laughed to scorne.

5 Being as alight despised in the heartes of the riche, and as one redy to fall.

6 The houses of robbers are in wealth and prosperitie, and they that maliciouslie meddle against God dwell without care, in those thinges that God hath geuen richely with his hande.

7 Aske the cattaile, and they shall enfourme thee: the foules of the ayre, and they shall tell thee.

8 Or the encrease of the earth, and it shall shew thee: or the fishes of the sea, and they shall certifie thee.

9 What is he but he knoweth that the hande of the Lorde made all these?

10 In whose hande is the soule of euery liuing thing, and the breath of all mankinde.
