Job 12:10-12

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁰ In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.

¹¹ Is it not the task of the ear to discriminate between [wise and unwise] words, just as the mouth distinguishes [between desirable and undesirable] food?

¹² With the aged [you say] is wisdom, and with length of days comes understanding.
