Job 12:12-14

The Voice

Shouldn’t wisdom come with old age? Not necessarily. Only God has wisdom; we merely fool ourselves into thinking we are wise.

¹²    But you tell me, “With age comes wisdom,
        and a long life grants understanding.”
¹³    With God is the sum total of all wisdom and of all power;
        His is the greatest of plans and the deepest of comprehensions.
¹⁴    So, then, what God tears down cannot be built back up;
        the man He shuts up cannot be released.
