Job 12
Job's third reaction (it is more of Parables)
1 Job answered, and said,
2 People with wisdom will surely die -
3 - and they could fall down. But is it with respect to the things in their inner hearts ALSO?
4 when a Righteous-man (tsaddiyq) call upon the Extremely Mighty God (Eloahh eloah), and HE answered him; his laughter will be blameless over the laughter of bad-friends.
5 the thought of the one who is at ease/secured might be a scorn/contempt to the one who has stumbled/slipped, but it will prepare a lamp for his feet.
6 If the Hand of the Extremely Mighty One (Eloahh eloah) comes into the tent of the main-leader (el) for security and tranquility, robbers (shadad) will tremble in rage.
7 if, on the contrary, you could reverently enquire from animals and even from the birds of the sky they would have spoken boldly.
8 Rather than conversing with oneself on the land, reverently reckon/audibly count the fishes of the sea:
9 How would you have known, what the Hand of Jehovah has created/done?
10 The soul of man and the flesh of all the living things are in the Hand of the SPIRIT:
11 .What is mouth to food? It is for tasting it: What is ear to words? It is for trying/proving them
12 length of days is with aged-men, but intelligence/insight is in wisdom.
13 just as valor/gallantry (geburah) is in discernment/insight, counsel is in wisdom:
14 if broken down, a man can build - and if closed-up, he should open it:
15 a water, that is held back, will dry up - but if sent out, it will turn around/change the earth:
16 greatest strength is in wisdom - but you will make mistak, if misled/go astray.
17 If you walk around to judge, you will either be praised (halal) or be refuted by those you counseled.
18 kings are open up to gifts but towards correction/instructions, he will fasten his belt.
19 If a Priest walk around to subvert/falsify things, his steadfastness will be refuted.
20 if you decline the taste of the things from the lips of an aged Elder, you could still believe and receive them.
21 To scorn noble-volunteers/princes is like weakening a jetty/pier for spilling away river from channel.
22 if light goes out from you into a darkness, you will uncover the deep things in the shadow of death:
23 if a nation has expanded, another growing nation had been lost or led/settled into it.
24 when the head-master/principal of the earth is removed, the heart of the people will vaccilate and lie waste (tohu) on the way-
25 - and they will vaccilate/stray and even grope/have a feeling of darkness in the light like a drunken man.
