| 12:2 | No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you. |
| 12:3 | But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these? |
| 12:4 | I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn. |

| 12:7 | But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: |
| 12:8 | Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. |
| 12:9 | Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? |
| 12:10 | In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. |
| 12:11 | Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? |

| 12:13 | With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. |
| 12:14 | Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. |
| 12:15 | Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth. |
| 12:16 | With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his. |
| 12:17 | He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools. |
| 12:17 | 他把謀士剝衣擄去、又使審判官變成愚人。 |
| 12:17 | 他把谋士剥衣掳去，又使审判官变成愚人。 |
| 2sa:15:34 | But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father's servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel. |
| 2sa:17:23 | And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father. |
| job:5:12 | He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. |
| job:9:24 | The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he? |
| isa:40:23 | That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity. |
| isa:44:25 | That frustrateth the tokens of the liars, and maketh diviners mad; that turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge foolish; |
| 1co:1:20 | Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? |

| 12:20 | He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged. |
| 12:21 | He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty. |
| 12:22 | He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death. |
| 12:23 | He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again. |
| 12:24 | He 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. |
| 12:25 | They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man. |
