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.
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.
