Job 12:7-12
English Standard Version
7 “But ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;
8 or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you;[a]
and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
9 Who among all these does not know
that (A)the hand of the Lord has done this?
10 In (B)his hand is the life of every living thing
and the breath of all mankind.
11 Does not (C)the ear test words
as the palate tastes food?
12 Wisdom is with (D)the aged,
and understanding in length of days.
