Job 12:7-13

7“But just ask the animals, and have them teach you; And the birds of the sky, and have them tell you.8Or speak to the earth, and have it teach you; And have the fish of the sea tell you.9Who among all these does not know That 1the hand of the Lord has done this,10 2In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And 3the breath of all mankind?11Does 4the ear not put words to the test, As the palate 5tastes its food?12Wisdom is with the 6aged, And with 7long life comes understanding.

13“8Wisdom and 9might are with Him; Advice and 10understanding belong to Him.
