Job 12:7-12
New King James Version
7 “But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
8 Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you;
And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
9 Who among all these does not know
That the hand of the Lord has done this,
10 (A)In whose hand is the [a]life of every living thing,
And the (B)breath of [b]all mankind?
11 Does not the ear test words
And the [c]mouth taste its food?
12 Wisdom is with aged men,
And with [d]length of days, understanding.
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.
