Job 12 — GMV

12 Verse 1 And Job answered and said, ^{Verse 2} So then ye alone are men, ^{Verse 3} But I also have a heart as well as you. ^{Verse 4} For a righteous and blameless man has become a subject for mockery. ^{Verse 5} For it had been ordained that he should fall under others at the appointed time, ^{Verse 6} Even as many as provoke the Lord, ^{Verse 7} But ask now the beasts, if they may speak to thee; ^{Verse 8} Tell the earth, if it may speak to thee: ^{Verse 9} Who then has not known in all these things, ^{Verse 10} Whereas the life of all living things is in his hand, ^{Verse 11} For the ear tries words, ^{Verse 12} In length of time is wisdom, ^{Verse 13} With him are wisdom and power, ^{Verse 14} If he should cast down, who will build up? ^{Verse 15} If he should withhold the water, he will dry the earth: ^{Verse 16} With him are strength and power: ^{Verse 17} He leads counselors away captive, ^{Verse 18} He seats kings upon thrones, ^{Verse 19} He sends away priests into captivity, ^{Verse 20} He changes the lips of the trustworthy, ^{Verse 21} He pours dishonor upon princes, ^{Verse 22} Revealing deep things out of darkness: ^{Verse 23} Causing the nations to wander, and destroying them: ^{Verse 24} Perplexing the minds of the princes of the earth: ^{Verse 25} Let them grope in darkness, and let there be no light,
