(A)The tents of robbers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure—
In what God provides by His hand.

“But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you;
And the fish of the sea will explain to you.

(A)The tents of robbers are at peace,
    and those who provoke God are secure,

or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you;[b]
    and the fish of the sea will declare to you.

  1. Job 12:6 The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain
  2. Job 12:8 Or or speak to the earth, and it will teach you

The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
