1 A Jov odgovori i reče: 2 Da, vi ste ljudi, i s vama će umreti mudrost. 3 I ja imam srce kao i vi, niti sam gori od vas; i u koga nema toga? 4 Na podsmeh sam prijatelju svom, koji kad zove Boga odazove mu se; na podsmeh je pravedni i dobri. 5 Bačen je luč po mišljenju srećnog onaj koji hoće da popuzne. 6 Mirne su kolibe lupeške, i bez straha su koji gneve Boga, njima Bog daje sve u ruke. 7 Zapitaj stoku, naučiće te; ili ptice nebeske, kazaće ti. 8 Ili se razgovori sa zemljom, naučiće te, i ribe će ti morske pripovediti. 9 Ko ne zna od svega toga da je ruka Gospodnja to učinila? 10 Kome je u ruci duša svega živog i duh svakog tela čovečijeg. 11 Ne raspoznaje li uho reči kao što grlo kuša jelo? 12 U starca je mudrost, i u dugom veku razum. 13 U Njega je mudrost i sila, u Njega je savet i razum. 14 Gle, On razgradi, i ne može se opet sagraditi; zatvori čoveka, i ne može se otvoriti. 15 Gle, ustavi vode, i presahnu; pusti ih, i isprevrću zemlju. 16 U Njega je jačina i mudrost, Njegov je koji je prevaren i koji vara. 17 On dovodi savetnike u ludilo, i sudije obezumljuje. 18 On razrešuje pojas carevima, i opasuje bedra njihova. 19 On dovodi knezove u ludilo, i obara jake. 20 On uzima besedu rečitima, i starcima uzima razum. 21 On sipa sramotu na knezove, i raspasuje junake. 22 On otkriva duboke stvari ispod tame, i izvodi na videlo sen smrtni. 23 On umnožava narode i zatire ih, rasipa narode i sabira. 24 On oduzima srce glavarima naroda zemaljskih, i zavodi ih u pustinju gde nema puta, 25 Da pipaju po mraku bez videla, i čini da tumaraju kao pijani.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Speak to the earth, if perchance it may teach thee: and though thou inquire of all things which are upon the earth, they shall not be able to tell thee.
