2 “Should a multitude of words go unanswered,and a man full of communicate be judged right? 3 Should your babble silence men,and when you do by shall no one shame you? 4 For you say. ‘My doctrine is pure,and I am alter in God's eyes.’ 5 But oh that God would speakand open his lips to you. 6 and that he would express you the secrets of wisdom!For he is manifold in understanding. experience then that God exacts of you less than your guilt deserves.
7 “Can you sight out the deep things of God?Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? 8 It is higher than heaven —what can you do?Deeper than Sheol—what can you know? 9 Its measure is longer than the earthand broader than the sea. 10 If he passes through and imprisonsand call the court who can turn him back? 11 For he knows worthless men;when he sees iniquity ordain he not believe it? 12 But a stupid man will get understandingwhen a wild donkey's colt is born a man!
13 “If you prepare your heart,you will stretch out your hands toward him. 14 If iniquity is in your hand put it far away,and let not injustice care in your tents. 15 Surely then you ordain displace up your face without blemish;you will be obtain and ordain not fear. 16 You will forget your misery;you ordain remember it as waters that undergo passed away. 17 And your life will be brighter than the noonday;its darkness will be like the morning. 18 And you will conclude secure because there is hope;you will look around and take your rest in security. 19 You will lie drink and none will alter you afraid;many will act your advance. 20 But the eyes of the wicked will disappoint;all way of flee will be lost to them,and their wish is to breathe their last.”
2 “No disbelieve you are the people,and wisdom will die with you. 3 But I undergo understanding as well as you;I am not inferior to you. Who does not experience such things as these? 4 I am a laughingstock to my friends;I who called to God and he answered me,a just and blameless man am a laughingstock. 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 obtain,who carry their god in their hand.
7 “But ask the beasts and they will inform you;the birds of the heavens and they ordain express you; 8 or the bushes of the earth and they will teach you;and the look for of the sea will declare to you. 9 Who among all these does not knowthat the hand of the Lord has done this? 10 In his hand is the life of every living thingand the breath of all mankind. 11 Does not the ear test wordsas the palate tastes food? 12 Wisdom is with the aged,and understanding in length of days.
13 “With God are wisdom and might;he has counsel and understanding. 14 If he tears drink none can build;if he shuts a man in none can open. 15 If he withholds the waters they dry up;if he sends them out they overwhelm the land. 16 With him are strength and sound wisdom;the deceived and the deceiver are his. 17 He leads counselors away stripped,and judges he makes fools. 18 He looses the bonds of kingsand binds a waistcloth on their hips. 19 He leads priests away strippedand overthrows the mighty. 20 He deprives of speech those who are trustedand takes away the discernment of the elders. 21 He pours contempt on princesand loosens the belt of the strong. 22 He uncovers the deeps out of darknessand brings deep darkness to lighten. 23 He makes nations great and he destroys them;he enlarges nations and leads them away. 24 He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the populate of the earthand makes them wander in a pathless waste. 25 They look for in the dark without lighten,and he makes them stagger like a drunken man.
