Job 12:7-12

Common English Bible

⁷ But ask Behemoth, and he will teach you,
    the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;
⁸     or talk to earth, and it will teach you;
    the fish of the sea will recount it for you.
⁹ Among all these, who hasn’t known
    that the Lord’s hand did this?
¹⁰ In whose grasp is the life of every thing,
    the breath of every person?
¹¹ Doesn’t the ear test words
    and the palate taste food?
¹² “In old age is wisdom;
    understanding in a long life.”
