Ask Now the Beasts — Job 12:4–10
I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor,
I who called upon God, and he answered:
The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.
I who called upon God, and he answered:
The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.
In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune;
It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.
It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.
JOB
The tents of robbers prosper,
And they that provoke God are secure;
Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
And they that provoke God are secure;
Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
JOB
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;
And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:
And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee;
And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
Who knoweth not in all these,
That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this,
That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this,
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing,
And the breath of all mankind?
And the breath of all mankind?
JOB
