욥12~14 내 연구 노트 · 구약

^12:1 And Job answered and said,

^12:2 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

^12:3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

^12:4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

^12:5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

^12:6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly .

^12:7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

^12:8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

^12:9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?

^12:10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

^12:11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

^12:12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

^12:13 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.

^12:14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

^12:15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

^12:16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.

^12:17 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.

^12:18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.

^12:19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.

^12:20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.

^12:21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.

^12:22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

^12:23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again .

^12:24 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

^12:25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man .

^13:1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this , mine ear hath heard and understood it.

^13:2 What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.

^13:3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

^13:4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

^13:5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.

^13:6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

^13:7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?

^13:8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?

^13:9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?

^13:10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.

^13:11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?

^13:12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

^13:13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will .

^13:14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

^13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
