Job 12:13

WisdomGod's power and sovereignty

11 Does not the ear test words as the tongue tastes its food?

12 Wisdom is found with the elderly, and understanding comes with long life.

Wisdom and strength belong to God; counsel and understanding are His.

14 What He tears down cannot be rebuilt; the man He imprisons cannot be released.

15 If He holds back the waters, they dry up, and if He releases them, they overwhelm the land.
