Job 12:6-11

Christian Standard Bible

⁶The tents of robbers are safe,^(A)
and those who trouble God are secure;
God holds them in his hands.^[a]^(B)

⁷But ask the animals, and they will instruct you;
ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.^(C)
⁸Or speak to the earth, and it will instruct you;
let the fish of the sea inform you.
⁹Which of all these does not know
that the hand of the Lord has done this?^(D)
¹⁰The life of every living thing is in his hand,
as well as the breath of all humanity.^(E)
¹¹Doesn’t the ear test words
as the palate tastes food?
