But ask  now the beasts, 
and they shall teach  thee; 
and the fowls of the air, 
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.       
Who knoweth  not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought  this?       
and the breath of all mankind .    
Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
With the ancient is wisdom; 
and in length of days understanding.    
With him is wisdom and strength, 
he hath counsel and understanding.    
Behold, he breaketh down , and it cannot be built again :
he shutteth up a man,
and there can be no opening .
Behold, he withholdeth  the waters, 
and they dry up : 
also he sendeth them out , 
With him is strength and wisdom:
the deceived  and the deceiver  are his.   
He leadeth counsellors  away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools .       He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
He leadethprinces away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
and taketh away  the understanding of the aged.    
He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
He discovereth  deep things out of darkness, 
and bringeth out  to light the shadow of death.
He increaseth  the nations, and destroyeth  them: 
He taketh away  the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
They grope in the dark without light,
and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
Job 12:7-25
