Job 12:11-19 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. Doesn’t the ear test wordsand the palate taste food?

12. "In old age is wisdom;understanding in a long life."

13. With him are wisdom and power;counsel and understanding are his.

14. If he tears down, it can’t be rebuilt;if he ties a person up, he can’t be set free.

15. If he restricts water, they have drought;if he lets it loose, it overturns the land.

16. With him are might and success;the deceiver and the deceived are his.

17. He leads advisors away barefoot;makes madmen of judges;

18. unties the belt of kings,binds a garment around their loins;

19. leads priests away barefoot;overthrows the well-established;
