⁷ “But ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
    the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;
⁸ or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you;^[a]
    and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
⁹ Who among all these does not know
    that ^(A)the hand of the Lord has done this?
¹⁰ In ^(B)his hand is the life of every living thing
    and the breath of all mankind.
¹¹ Does not ^(C)the ear test words
    as the palate tastes food?
