1Job was like, "Yo, listen up."

2No cap, you guys think you're the real ones, but wisdom's gonna ghost you.

3But fr, I get it just like you; I ain't less than you: who doesn't know this stuff?

4I'm just a dude getting clowned by my neighbor, calling out to God, and the righteous man gets laughed at.

5Someone who's about to trip is like a lamp nobody cares about when you're chilling.

6The robbers are thriving, and those who test God are vibing; God’s got their back, for real.

7But ask the animals, and they'll drop knowledge; the birds will spill the tea.

8Or chat with the earth, and it'll school you; the fish in the sea are ready to enlighten you.

9Who doesn't see that the Lord’s hand made all this?

10In His grip is the soul of every living thing and the breath of all humans.

11Don't your ears test words? And your mouth taste food?

12Wisdom hangs with the old heads; long life brings understanding.

13He's got wisdom and strength; His advice is goated.

14Check it, He tears down, and it can't be rebuilt; He shuts a dude up, and there's no way to speak.

15Look, He holds back the waters, and they dry up; then He sends them out, flipping the earth upside down.

16With Him is mad strength and wisdom; both the tricked and the trickster belong to Him.

17He leads counselors to get wrecked and makes judges look dumb.

18He breaks the chains of kings and ties them up like it's a fashion statement.

19He sends princes away empty-handed and takes down the strong ones.

20He silences the trustworthy and snatches the wisdom from the old.

21He throws shade on princes and weakens the powerful.

22He reveals deep stuff from the dark and brings to light the shadows of death.

23He boosts nations and then wrecks them; He expands them and then tightens them back up.

24He takes the heart of the top dogs and makes them wander in a wilderness with no GPS.

25They fumble in the dark without a light, and He makes them stagger like they’re tipsy.

1And Job answered and said,

2No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

4I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.

5He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

6The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

8Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

9Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

11Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

12With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.

14Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

15Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

16With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.

17He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.

18He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.

19He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.

20He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.

21He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.

22He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

23He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.

24He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

25They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
