Job 12:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all [a]mankind.
11 Doth not the ears [b]discern the words, and the mouth taste meat for itself?
12 Among the [c]ancient is wisdom, and in the length of days is understanding.

10 (A) I hans hand är allt levandes själ
och varje människas ande.
11 (B) Ska inte örat pröva orden
liksom munnen prövar
matens smak?
12 Hos de gamla finns vishet,
långt liv ger förstånd.
