Job Chides His Accusers
1Tetapi Ayub menjawab: 2"Memang, kamulah orang-orang itu, dan bersama-sama kamu hikmat akan mati. 3Akupun mempunyai pengertian, sama seperti kamu, aku tidak kalah dengan kamu; siapa tidak tahu hal-hal serupa itu ? 4Aku menjadi tertawaan sesamaku, aku, yang mendapat jawaban dari Allah, bila aku berseru kepada-Nya; orang yang benar dan saleh menjadi tertawaan. 5Penghinaan bagi orang yang celaka, -- demikianlah pendapat orang yang hidup aman -- suatu pukulan bagi orang yang tergelincir kakinya. 6Tetapi amanlah kemah para perusak, dan tenteramlah mereka yang membangkitkan murka Allah, mereka yang hendak membawa Allah dalam tangannya.
1Then Job responded, 2“Truly then you are the people,
And with you wisdom will die! 3“But I have intelligence as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
And who does not know such things as these? 4“I am a joke to my friends,
The one who called on God and He answered him;
The just and blameless man is a joke. 5“He who is at ease holds disaster in contempt,
As prepared for those whose feet slip. 6“The tents of the destroyers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure,
Whom God brings into their power.
And with you wisdom will die! 3“But I have intelligence as well as you;
I am not inferior to you.
And who does not know such things as these? 4“I am a joke to my friends,
The one who called on God and He answered him;
The just and blameless man is a joke. 5“He who is at ease holds disaster in contempt,
As prepared for those whose feet slip. 6“The tents of the destroyers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure,
Whom God brings into their power.
7Tetapi bertanyalah kepada binatang, maka engkau akan diberinya pengajaran, kepada burung di udara, maka engkau akan diberinya keterangan. 8Atau bertuturlah kepada bumi, maka engkau akan diberinya pengajaran, bahkan ikan di laut akan bercerita kepadamu. 9Siapa di antara semuanya itu yang tidak tahu, bahwa tangan Allah yang melakukan itu; 10bahwa di dalam tangan-Nya terletak nyawa segala yang hidup dan nafas setiap manusia ? 11Bukankah telinga menguji kata-kata, seperti langit-langit mencecap makanan ? 12Konon hikmat ada pada orang yang tua, dan pengertian pada orang yang lanjut umurnya.
7“But just ask the animals, and have them teach you;
And the birds of the sky, and have them tell you. 8“Or speak to the earth, and have it teach you;
And have the fish of the sea tell you. 9“Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the LORD has done this, 10In whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind? 11“Does the ear not put words to the test,
As the palate tastes its food? 12“Wisdom is with the aged,
And with long life comes understanding.

Job Speaks of the Power of God
13Tetapi pada Allahlah hikmat dan kekuatan, Dialah yang mempunyai pertimbangan dan pengertian. 14Bila Ia membongkar, tidak ada yang dapat membangun kembali; bila Ia menangkap seseorang, tidak ada yang dapat melepaskannya. 15Bila Ia membendung air, keringlah semuanya; bila Ia melepaskannya mengalir, maka tanah dilandanya. 16Pada Dialah kuasa dan kemenangan, Dialah yang menguasai baik orang yang tersesat maupun orang yang menyesatkan. 17Dia yang menggiring menteri dengan telanjang, dan para hakim dibodohkan-Nya. 18Dia membuka belenggu yang dikenakan oleh raja-raja dan mengikat pinggang mereka dengan tali pengikat. 19Dia yang menggiring dan menggeledah para imam, dan menggulingkan yang kokoh. 20Dia yang membungkamkan orang-orang yang dipercaya, menjadikan para tua-tua hilang akal. 21Dia yang mendatangkan penghinaan kepada para pemuka, dan melepaskan ikat pinggang orang kuat. 22Dia yang menyingkapkan rahasia kegelapan, dan mendatangkan kelam pekat pada terang. 23Dia yang membuat bangsa-bangsa bertumbuh, lalu membinasakannya, dan memperbanyak bangsa-bangsa, lalu menghalau mereka. 24Dia menyebabkan para pemimpin dunia kehilangan akal, dan membuat mereka tersesat di padang belantara yang tidak ada jalannya. 25Mereka meraba-raba dalam kegelapan yang tidak ada terangnya; dan Ia membuat mereka berjalan terhuyung-huyung seperti orang mabuk."
13“Wisdom and might are with Him;
Advice and understanding belong to Him. 14“Behold, He tears down, and it cannot be rebuilt;
He imprisons a person, and there is no release. 15“Behold, He restrains the waters, and they dry up;
And He sends them out, and they inundate the earth. 16“Strength and sound wisdom are with Him.
One who goes astray and one who leads astray belong to Him. 17“He makes advisers walk barefoot
And makes fools of judges. 18“He undoes the binding of kings,
And ties a loincloth around their waist. 19“He makes priests walk barefoot,
And overthrows the secure ones. 20“He deprives the trusted ones of speech,
And takes away the discernment of the elders. 21“He pours contempt on nobles,
And loosens the belt of the strong. 22“He reveals mysteries from the darkness,
And brings the deep darkness into light. 23“He makes the nations great, then destroys them;
He enlarges the nations, then leads them away. 24“He deprives the leaders of the earth’s people of intelligence
And makes them wander in a pathless wasteland. 25“They grope in darkness with no light,
And He makes them stagger like a drunken person.
