1 Then Job answered and said:
2 No doubt you are the peoplewith whom wisdom shall die!
3 But I have intelligence as well as you;I do not fall short of you;for who does not know such things as these?
4 I have become the sport of my neighbors:“The one whom God answers when he calls upon him,The just, the perfect man,” is a laughingstock;
5 The undisturbed esteem my downfall a disgracesuch as awaits unsteady feet;
6 Yet the tents of robbers are prosperous,and those who provoke God are secure,whom God has in his power.
7 But now ask the beasts to teach you,the birds of the air to tell you;
