Job 12:7-12

World English Bible

⁷ “But ask the animals, now, and they will teach you;
    the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
⁸ Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you.
    The fish of the sea will declare to you.
⁹ Who doesn’t know that in all these,
    Yahweh’s hand has done this,
¹⁰ in whose hand is the life of every living thing,
    and the breath of all mankind?
¹¹ Doesn’t the ear try words,
    even as the palate tastes its food?
¹² With aged men is wisdom,
    in length of days understanding.
