Job 12:7-12

Lexham English Bible

⁷ “But^[a] ask^[b] the animals, and they will teach you,
and the birds of the heaven, and they will tell you;
⁸ or ask the earth, and it will teach you,
and the fishes of the sea will declare to you.
⁹ Who among all of these does not know
that Yahweh’s hand has done this?
¹⁰ In whose hand is the life of all living things
and the breath of every human being?^[c]
11 Does not the ear test words
and the palate taste food for itself?
¹² Wisdom is with the aged,
and understanding is in length of days.
