- 2 "Truly then you are the people And with you wisdom will die!
- 3 "But I have intelligence as well as you; I am not inferior to you. And who does not know such things as these?
- 4 "I am a joke to my friends The one who called on God and He answered him; The just and blameless man is a joke.
- 5 "He who is at ease holds calamity 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 now ask the beasts and let them teach you; And the birds of the heavens and let them tell you.
- 8 "Or speak to the earth and let it teach you; And let the fish of the sea declare 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 As the palate tastes its food?
