Job 12:7-12

New King James Version

⁷ “But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
⁸ Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you;
And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
⁹ Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
^10 (A)In whose hand is the ^[a]life of every living thing,
And the ^(B)breath of ^[b]all mankind?
¹¹ Does not the ear test words
And the ^[c]mouth taste its food?
¹² Wisdom is with aged men,
And with ^[d]length of days, understanding.
