IYOB ANSWERS
And Iyob answers and says, 2 Truly you are the people; and with you, wisdom dies. 3 Yes, I have a heart as you; I fall not lower than you; yes, who knows not such as these? 4 I am as one ridiculed by his friend, who calls on Elohah and he answers him; he ridicules the just, the integrious. 5 He who prepares to waver with his feet is as a flambeau disrespected in the thoughts of him who relaxes. 6 The tents of ravagers serenify and they who provoke El are confident; into whose hand Elohah brings. 7 And yet, I beseech, ask the animals to teach you; and the flyers of the air to tell you; 8 or meditate to the earth to teach you; and the fishes of the sea to scribe to you. 9 Who knows not that in all these the hand of Yah Veh worked this? 10 In whose hand is the soul of all living and the spirit of all flesh of man. 11 Does not the ear proof utterances? - the palate taste food? 12 With the aged is wisdom; and in length of days understanding; 13 with him, wisdom and might, to him, counsel and understanding. 14 Behold, he breaks down and no one builds; he shuts a man and no one opens. 15 Behold, he restrains the waters, and they dry; he sends them out and they overturn the earth. 16 With him is strength and substance; they who err inadvertently and they who cause to err inadvertently are his. 17 He walks counsellors away stripped and has the judges halal; 18 he loosens the bond of sovereigns and binds their loins with a girdle; 19 he walks priests away stripped and perverts the perennial; 20 he turns aside the lip of the trustworthy and takes away the taste of the aged; 21 he pours disrespect on volunteers and loosens the girdle of the gatherers; 22 he exposes depths from darkness and brings the shadow of death to light. 23 He increases the goyim and destroys them; he spreads the goyim and leads them; 24 he turns aside the heart of the head of the people of the earth; and staggars them in a void where there is no way; 25 they grope in the dark without light and he staggers them as intoxicated.
