Job 12:6-10
6But the tents of robbers are peaceful, and those who provoke God are confident – who carry their god in their hands.
71“But now, ask the animals and they will teach you, or the birds of the sky and they will tell you.
8Or speak to the earth and it will teach you, or let the fish of the sea declare to you.
9Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this,
10in whose hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all the human race.
