Job 12:7-12

Amplified Bible

⁷ 
“Now ask the animals, and let them teach you [that God does not deal with His creatures according to their character];
And ask the birds of the air, and let them tell you;
⁸ 
Or speak to the earth [with its many forms of life], and it will teach you;
And let the fish of the sea declare [this truth] to you.
⁹ 
“Who among all these does not recognize [in all these things that good and evil are randomly scattered throughout nature and human life]
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
¹⁰ 
In whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind?
¹¹ 
“Does the ear not put words to the test,
Just as the palate tastes its food [distinguishing between the desirable and the undesirable]?
¹² 
“With the aged [you say] is wisdom,
And with ^[a]long life is understanding.
