Job 12:5-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
5
He who is at ease holds disaster in contempt,
As prepared for those whose feet slip.
6
The tents of the destroyers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure,
Whom God brings into their power.
7
'But just ask the animals, and have them teach you;
And the birds of the sky, and have them tell you.
8
Or speak to the earth, and have it teach you;
And have the fish of the sea tell you.
9
Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the
Lord
has done this,
10
In whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind?
11
Does the ear not put words to the test,
As the palate tastes its food?
12
Wisdom is with the aged,
And with
long life
comes
understanding.
King James Version
Chapter 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.
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 12
5
The one who is at ease holds calamity in contempt
and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.
6
The tents of robbers are safe,
and those who trouble God are secure;
God holds them in his hands.
7
But ask the animals, and they will instruct you;
ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
8
Or speak to the earth, and it will instruct you;
let the fish of the sea inform you.
9
Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the
Lord
has done this?
10
The life of every living thing is in his hand,
as well as the breath of all mankind.
11
Doesn’t the ear test words
as the palate tastes food?
12
Wisdom is found with the elderly,
and understanding comes with long life.
New Living Translation
Chapter 12
5
People who are at ease mock those in trouble.
They give a push to people who are stumbling.
6
But robbers are left in peace,
and those who provoke God live in safety —
though God keeps them in his power.
7
'Just ask the animals, and they will teach you.
Ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
8
Speak to the earth, and it will instruct you.
Let the fish in the sea speak to you.
9
For they all know
that my disaster has come from the hand of the
Lord
.
10
For the life of every living thing is in his hand,
and the breath of every human being.
11
The ear tests the words it hears
just as the mouth distinguishes between foods.
12
Wisdom belongs to the aged,
and understanding to the old.
English Standard Version
Chapter 12
5
In the thought of one who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune;
it is ready for those whose feet slip.
6
The tents of robbers are at peace,
and those who provoke God are secure,
who bring their god in their hand.
7
"But ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;
8
or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you;
and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
9
Who among all these does not know
that the hand of the
Lord
has done this?
10
In his hand is the life of every living thing
and the breath of all mankind.
11
Does not the ear test words
as the palate tastes food?
12
Wisdom is with the aged,
and understanding in length of days.
New International Version
Chapter 12
5
Those who are at ease have contempt for misfortune
as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.
6
The tents of marauders are undisturbed,
and those who provoke God are secure—
those God has in his hand.
7
"But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
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
that the hand of the
Lord
has done this?
10
In his hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.
11
Does not the ear test words
as the tongue tastes food?
12
Is not wisdom found among the aged?
Does not long life bring understanding?
New King James Version
Chapter 12
5
A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease;
It is
made ready for those whose feet slip.
6
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
In whose hand
is
the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind?
11
Does not the ear test words
And the mouth taste its food?
12
Wisdom
is
with aged men,
And with length of days, understanding.
