- Then Job, answering, said
- Are you, therefore, alone among men, and will wisdom die with you
- And I have a heart just as you also do, and I am not inferior to you. For who is ignorant of these things, which you know
- He who is mocked by his friends as I am, will call upon God, and he will listen to him because it is the sincerity of the just that is being mocked
- The lamp that is despised in the thoughts of the rich is ready for the appointed time
- The tabernacles of robbers are numerous, and they provoke God boldly; whereas, it is he who has given all things into their hands
- In truth, ask the mules, and they will teach you, and the birds of the sky, and they will reveal to you
- Speak with the earth, and it will respond to you, and the fish of the sea will explain
- Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord has made all these things
- In his hand is the soul of all the living and the spirit of all the flesh of mankind
- Does not the ear perceive words, and the palate, when eating, perceive flavor
- In old age is wisdom, and in length of days is prudence
- With him is wisdom and strength, he has counsel and understanding
- If he tears down, there is no one who can build up; if he encloses a man, there is no one who can open
- If he restrains the waters, everything will dry up; and if he sends them forth, they will subdue the land
- With him is strength and wisdom; he knows both the deceiver and he who is deceived
- He leads advisors to a foolish end and judges to stupidity
- He removes the belt of kings and encircles their waist with a rope
- He leads away priests in dishonor and displaces nobles
- altering the lips of those who speak the truth and sweeping away the teaching of the aged
- He pours disdain upon the leaders, relieving those who had been oppressed
- He reveals the depths of the darkness, and he brings the shadow of death into the light
- He multiplies peoples, and destroys them, and, having been overthrown, he restores them anew
- He transforms the heart of the leaders of the people on earth, and misleads those who in vain advance upon the inviolable
- They will grope as in the darkness, not the light, and he will make them stagger like drunkards
