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.”
Job 12:7-12
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)
