Job 12:7-16

New International Version

⁷ “But ask the animals, and they will teach you,^(A)
    or the birds in the sky,^(B) and they will tell you;^(C)
8 or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
    or let the fish in the sea inform you.
⁹ Which of all these does not know^(D)
    that the hand of the Lord has done this?^(E)
10 In his hand is the life^(F) of every creature
    and the breath of all mankind.^(G)
11 Does not the ear test words
    as the tongue tastes food?^(H)
12 Is not wisdom found among the aged?^(I)
    Does not long life bring understanding?^(J)

¹³ “To God belong wisdom^(K) and power;^(L)
    counsel and understanding are his.^(M)
14 What he tears down^(N) cannot be rebuilt;^(O)
    those he imprisons cannot be released.^(P)
15 If he holds back the waters,^(Q) there is drought;^(R)
    if he lets them loose, they devastate the land.^(S)
16 To him belong strength and insight;^(T)
    both deceived and deceiver are his.^(U)
