“But ask the animals, now, and they shall teach you; the birds of the sky, and they shall tell you.
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
“But ask the animals now, and they will teach you; the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.
But ask the animals, and they will instruct you; ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you.
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:
But put now a question to the beasts, and get teaching from them; or to the birds of the heaven, and they will make it clear to you;
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
Matthew Henry · Verses 6–11
Job appeals to facts. The most audacious robbers, oppressors, and impious wretches, often prosper. Yet this is not by fortune or chance; the Lord orders these things. Worldly prosperity is of small value in his sight: he has better things for his children. Job resolves all into the absolute proprietorship which God has in all the creatures. He demands from his friends liberty to judge of what they had said; he appeals to any fair judgment. (Job 12:12-25)
