約伯的回答
12 約伯回答說：
2 「你們真是什麼都懂的人啊，
你們死了，智慧也會消逝！
3 但我也有心智，不比你們遜色。
你們說的，誰不知道？
4 我這求告上帝並蒙祂應允的人竟成了朋友的笑柄，
我這公義純全的人竟成了笑柄。
5 安逸的人心中藐視災禍，
常常藐視那些滑倒的人。
6 強盜的帳篷太平，
冒犯上帝、手捧神像的人安穩。
7 「你去問走獸，牠們會指教你；
問天上的飛禽，牠們會告訴你；
8 向大地討教，大地會指教你，
或讓海中的魚為你闡明。
9 牠們當中哪個不知這是耶和華所為？
10 所有生靈都在祂手中，
世人的氣息也不例外。
11 舌頭豈不品嚐食物，
耳朵豈不辨別話語？
12 智慧與老人相伴，
知識與長者為伍。
13 「上帝有智慧和權能，
謀略和知識屬於祂。
14 祂拆毀的，無法重建；
祂囚禁的，無法獲釋。
15 祂攔住水源，便有乾旱；
祂放開水源，大地被淹沒。
16 祂充滿力量和智慧。
騙子和受騙者都在祂權下。
17 祂使謀士赤身被擄，
使審判官愚拙不堪。
18 祂除去君王的腰帶，
在他們腰間綁上囚索。
19 祂使祭司赤身被擄，
祂推翻久握大權者。
20 祂奪去智者的口才，
祂拿走長者的洞見。
21 祂使權貴倍受羞辱，
祂除掉強者的權勢。
22 祂揭露黑暗中的奧秘，
祂把幽暗帶入光明中。
23 祂使列國興起又滅亡，
祂使列國擴張又崩潰。
24 祂奪去世人首領的心智，
使他們在無路的荒野流浪。
25 他們在無光的黑暗中摸索，
像醉漢般踉踉蹌蹌。

Job responde a Sofar
12 Job tomó la palabra y dijo:
2 «¡No hay duda! ¡Ustedes son la voz del pueblo!
¡Cuando ustedes mueran, morirá la sabiduría!
3 Pero yo también tengo un poco de sesos,
y no me siento inferior a ustedes.
¿Quién no sabe todo lo que han dicho?
4 »Yo invocaba a Dios, y él me respondía;
¡pero ahora hasta mis amigos se burlan de mí!
¡Por ser honesto soy objeto de burlas!
5 “El que está por caer, ¡que se caiga!”
Eso piensan quienes se sienten seguros.
6 En esta vida los ladrones prosperan,
Y se sienten seguros los que ofenden a Dios.
¡Creen que Dios mismo les ha dado todo!
7 »Observa a los animales, y aprende de ellos;
Mira a las aves en los cielos, y oye lo que te dicen.
8 Habla con la tierra, para que te enseñe;
hasta los peces te lo han de contar.
9 ¿Habrá entre éstos alguien que no sepa
que todo esto lo hizo la mano del Señor?
10 La vida de todo ser está en sus manos;
¡él infunde vida a toda la humanidad!
11 »El oído distingue las palabras,
el paladar reconoce los sabores,
12 los ancianos poseen sabiduría,
y una larga vida acumula entendimiento;
13 pero la sabiduría y el poder son de Dios,
y suya también la decisión inteligente.
14 Lo que Dios destruye, nadie lo reconstruye;
a quien él encierra, nadie puede liberarlo;
15 si él detiene las aguas, viene la sequía;
si envía lluvias torrenciales, la tierra se inunda.
16 Suyos son la sabiduría y el poder;
suyos son los que yerran y los que hacen errar.
17 Él despoja de buen juicio a los consejeros,
y entorpece el criterio de los jueces;
18 deshace las cadenas de los tiranos,
y los manda en cadena al cautiverio;
19 despoja de su poder a los sacerdotes,
y derriba del trono a los poderosos;
20 arrebata la palabra a los consejeros,
y deja a los ancianos sin inteligencia;
21 cubre de ignominia a los príncipes,
y expone a la vergüenza a los poderosos;
22 saca a la luz las fuerza ocultas,
y pone al descubierto las más densas tinieblas.
23 Por él las naciones prosperan o son destruidas;
es él quien las dispersa o las vuelve a reunir;
24 él entorpece el juicio de los gobernantes,
y los hace vagar sin rumbo por el desierto;
25 y éstos caminan a tientas, como ciegos sin guía,
y van dando traspiés, como todo borracho.
Job 12
King James Version
Job 12
King James Version
12 And Job answered and said,
2 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
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.
5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
13 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
17 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
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.
25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.

Job Answers His Critics
12 Then Job answered and said:
2 “No doubt you are the people,
And wisdom will die with you!
3 But I have [a]understanding as well as you;
I am not (A)inferior to you.
Indeed, who does not know such things as these?
4 “I(B) am one mocked by his friends,
Who (C)called on God, and He answered him,
The just and blameless who is ridiculed.
5 A [b]lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease;
It is made ready for (D)those whose feet slip.
6 (E)The tents of robbers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure—
In what God provides by His hand.
7 “But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you;
And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
9 Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
10 (F)In whose hand is the [c]life of every living thing,
And the (G)breath of [d]all mankind?
11 Does not the ear test words
And the [e]mouth taste its food?
12 Wisdom is with aged men,
And with [f]length of days, understanding.
13 “With Him are (H)wisdom and strength,
He has counsel and understanding.
14 If (I)He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt;
If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.
15 If He (J)withholds the waters, they dry up;
If He (K)sends them out, they overwhelm the earth.
16 With Him are strength and prudence.
The deceived and the deceiver are His.
17 He leads counselors away plundered,
And makes fools of the judges.
18 He loosens the bonds of kings,
And binds their waist with a belt.
19 He leads [g]princes away plundered,
And overthrows the mighty.
20 (L)He deprives the trusted ones of speech,
And takes away the discernment of the elders.
21 (M)He pours contempt on princes,
And [h]disarms the mighty.
22 He (N)uncovers deep things out of darkness,
And brings the shadow of death to light.
23 (O)He makes nations great, and destroys them;
He [i]enlarges nations, and guides them.
24 He takes away the [j]understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth,
And (P)makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.
25 (Q)They grope in the dark without light,
And He makes them (R)stagger like a drunken man.

12 Then Job replied:
2 “Doubtless you are the only people who matter,
and wisdom will die with you!(A)
3 But I have a mind as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
Who does not know all these things?(B)
4 “I have become a laughingstock(C) to my friends,(D)
though I called on God and he answered(E)—
a mere laughingstock, though righteous and blameless!(F)
5 Those who are at ease have contempt(G) for misfortune
as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.(H)
6 The tents of marauders are undisturbed,(I)
and those who provoke God are secure(J)—
those God has in his hand.[a]
7 “But ask the animals, and they will teach you,(K)
or the birds in the sky,(L) and they will tell you;(M)
8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish in the sea inform you.
9 Which of all these does not know(N)
that the hand of the Lord has done this?(O)
10 In his hand is the life(P) of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.(Q)
11 Does not the ear test words
as the tongue tastes food?(R)
12 Is not wisdom found among the aged?(S)
Does not long life bring understanding?(T)
13 “To God belong wisdom(U) and power;(V)
counsel and understanding are his.(W)
14 What he tears down(X) cannot be rebuilt;(Y)
those he imprisons cannot be released.(Z)
15 If he holds back the waters,(AA) there is drought;(AB)

16 To him belong strength and insight;(AD)
both deceived and deceiver are his.(AE)
17 He leads rulers away stripped(AF)
and makes fools of judges.(AG)
18 He takes off the shackles(AH) put on by kings
and ties a loincloth[b] around their waist.(AI)
19 He leads priests away stripped(AJ)
and overthrows officials long established.(AK)
20 He silences the lips of trusted advisers
and takes away the discernment of elders.(AL)
21 He pours contempt on nobles(AM)
and disarms the mighty.(AN)
22 He reveals the deep things of darkness(AO)
and brings utter darkness(AP) into the light.(AQ)
23 He makes nations great, and destroys them;(AR)
he enlarges nations,(AS) and disperses them.(AT)
24 He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason;(AU)
he makes them wander in a trackless waste.(AV)
25 They grope in darkness with no light;(AW)
he makes them stagger like drunkards.(AX)
