Ask Now the Beasts — Job 11:16–12:3

For thou shalt forget thy misery;
Thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away,

And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday;
Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope;
Yea, thou shalt search about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.

Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid;
Yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
And they shall have no way to flee;
And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.

Then Job answered and said,

No doubt but ye are the people,
And wisdom shall die with you.

But I have understanding as well as you;
I am not inferior to you:
Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
