Job 12:8-16 Good News Bible (GNB)

8. ask the creatures of earth and sea for their wisdom.

9. All of them know that the Lord's hand made them.

10. It is God who directs the lives of his creatures;everyone's life is in his power.

11. But just as your tongue enjoys tasting food,your ears enjoy hearing words.

14. When God tears down, who can rebuild,and who can free those God imprisons?

15. Drought comes when God withholds rain;floods come when he turns water loose.

16. God is strong and always victorious;both deceived and deceiver are in his power.
