Job 12:7-12
Authorized (King James) Version
7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;
and the fowls of the air, 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 in all these
that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing,
and the breath of all mankind.
11 Doth not the ear try words?
and the mouth taste his meat?
12 With the ancient is wisdom;
and in length of days understanding.
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.
