Job 12:7-16

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ No wonder (Do not wonder about it), (but) ask thou [the] beasts, and they shall teach thee; and ask thou [the] birds of the air, and they shall show to thee.

⁸ Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee; and the fishes of the sea shall tell those things.

⁹ Who knoweth not that the hand of the Lord made all these things?

¹⁰ In whose hand the soul is of each living thing, and the spirit of each flesh of man. (In whose hand is the soul of each living thing, and the breath of all mankind.)

¹¹ Whether the ear deemeth not words, and the cheeks of the eater deem (the) savour, or the taste of meat? (Whether the ear judgeth not the words, like the tongue of the eater judgeth the savour, or the taste, of the food?)

¹² Wisdom is in eld men, and prudence is in much time.

¹³ Wisdom and strength is with God; he hath counsel and understanding.

¹⁴ If he destroyeth, there is no man that buildeth; if he shutteth in a man, there is none that openeth. (If he destroyeth, there is no one who buildeth up again; if he shutteth someone in, there is no one who can release him.)

¹⁵ If he holdeth together (the) waters, all things shall be made dry; and if he sendeth out those waters, they shall destroy the earth.

¹⁶ Strength and wisdom is with God; he knoweth both him that deceiveth and him that is deceived.
