| [bbe] | 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; |
12:8 | [hb5] | 或 與 地 說 話 、 地 必 指 教 你 . 海 中 的 魚 、 也 必 向 你 說 明 。 |
| [kjv] | Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. |
| [bbe] | Or to the things which go flat on the earth, and they will give you wisdom; and the fishes of the sea will give you news of it. |

| [kjv] | Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? |
| [bbe] | Are not words tested by the ear, even as food is tasted by the mouth? |
