2Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you?
2Truly--ye <FI>are<Fi> the people, And with you doth wisdom die.
3I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know?
3I also have a heart like you, I am not fallen more than you, And with whom is there not like these?
4He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.
4A laughter to his friend I am: `He calleth to God, and He answereth him,' A laughter <FI>is<Fi> the perfect righteous one.
5The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed.
5A torch--despised in the thoughts of the secure Is prepared for those sliding with the feet.
6The tabernacles of robbers abound, and they provoke God boldly; whereas it is he that hath given all into their hands:
6At peace are the tents of spoilers, And those provoking God have confidence, He into whose hand God hath brought.
7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee.
7And yet, ask, I pray thee, <FI>One of<Fi> the beasts, and it doth shew thee, And a fowl of the heavens, And it doth declare to thee.
8Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell.
8Or talk to the earth, and it sheweth thee, And fishes of the sea recount to thee:
9Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things?
9`Who hath not known in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath done this?
10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.
10In whose hand <FI>is<Fi> the breath of every living thing, And the spirit of all flesh of man.'
11Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste?
11Doth not the ear try words? And the palate taste food for itself?
12In the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days prudence.
12With the very aged <FI>is<Fi> wisdom, And <FI>with<Fi> length of days understanding.
13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
13With Him <FI>are<Fi> wisdom and might, To him <FI>are<Fi> counsel and understanding.
14If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a man, there is none that can open.
14Lo, He breaketh down, and it is not built up, He shutteth against a man, And it is not opened.
15If he withhold the waters, all things shall be dried up: and if he send them out, they shall overturn the earth.
15Lo, He keepeth in the waters, and they are dried up, And he sendeth them forth, And they overturn the land.
16With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceivers, and him that is deceived.
16With Him <FI>are<Fi> strength and wisdom, His the deceived and deceiver.
17He bringeth counsellors to a foolish end, and judges to insensibility.
17Causing counsellors to go away a spoil, And judges He maketh foolish.
18He looseth the belt of kings, and girdeth their loins with a cord.
18The bands of kings He hath opened, And He bindeth a girdle on their loins.
19He leadeth away priests without glory, and overthroweth nobles.
19Causing ministers to go away a spoil And strong ones He overthroweth.
20He changeth the speech of the true speakers, and taketh away the doctrine of the aged.
20Turning aside the lip of the stedfast, And the reason of the aged He taketh away.
21He poureth contempt upon princes, and relieveth them that were oppressed.
21Pouring contempt upon princes, And the girdle of the mighty He made feeble.
22He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth up to light the shadow of death.
22Removing deep things out of darkness, And He bringeth out to light death-shade.
23He multiplieth nations, and destroyeth them, and restoreth them again after they were overthrown.
23Magnifying the nations, and He destroyeth them, Spreading out the nations, and He quieteth them.
