Job 12:7-12
Legacy Standard Bible
7 “But now ask the beasts, and let them instruct you;
And the birds of the sky, and let them tell you.
8 Or muse to the earth, and let it instruct you;
And let the fish of the sea recount it to you.
9 Who among all these does not know
That (A)the hand of Yahweh has done this,
10 (B)In whose hand is the life of every living thing,
And (C)the breath of all the flesh of man?
11 Does not (D)the ear test words,
As the palate [a]tastes its food?
12 Wisdom is with (E)aged men,
With [b]long life is discernment.
Job 12:7-12
American Standard Version
7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;
And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:
8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee;
And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
9 Who knoweth not [a]in all these,
That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this,
10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing,
And the [b]breath of all mankind?
11 Doth not the ear try words,
Even as the palate tasteth its food?
12 [c]With aged men is wisdom,
And in length of days understanding.
