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
Evangelical Heritage Version
7 Please ask the animals, and they will teach you.
Ask the birds of the sky, and they will inform you.
8 Complain to the earth, and it will teach you,
and the fish of the sea will tell you about it.
9 Who among all these does not know that the hand of the Lord[a] did this?
10 The life of every living thing is in his hand,
as well as the breath[b] in all human flesh.
11 Isn’t it true that the ear tests words
and the palate tastes food?
12 Isn’t it true that wisdom is found among the aged
and understanding among those who have had a long life?
