New International Version

Job 12:11-15 New International Version (NIV)

11. Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes food?

12. Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?

13. “To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.

14. What he tears down cannot be rebuilt; those he imprisons cannot be released.

15. If he holds back the waters, there is drought; if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.
