Job 12:7-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
7 But now ask the beasts to teach you,
the birds of the air to tell you;
8 Or speak to the earth to instruct you,
and the fish of the sea to inform you.
9 Which of all these does not know
that the hand of God has done this?
10 In his hand is the soul of every living thing,(A)
and the life breath of all mortal flesh.
11 Does not the ear judge words
as the mouth tastes food?(B)
Proverbs 16:4
