Job 12:7-9
New American Standard Bible
7 “But just ask the animals, and have them teach you;
And the birds of the sky, and have them tell you.
8 Or speak to the earth, and have it teach you;
And have the fish of the sea tell you.
9 Who among all these does not know
That (A)the hand of the Lord has done this,

Psalm 19:1-6
New American Standard Bible
The Works and the Word of God.
For the music director. A Psalm of David.
19 The (A)heavens tell of the glory of God;
And their (B)expanse declares the work of His hands.
2 Day to (C)day pours forth speech,
And (D)night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4 Their [a](E)line has gone out into all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.
In them He has (F)placed a tent for the sun,
5 Which is like a groom coming out of his chamber;
It rejoices like a strong person to run his course.
6 Its (G)rising is from [b]one end of the heavens,
And its circuit to the [c]other end of them;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

their words to the ends of the world.(G)
In the heavens God has pitched a tent(H) for the sun.(I)

like a champion(L) rejoicing to run his course.

Jeremiah 5:21-31
New American Standard Bible
21 ‘Now hear this, you foolish and [a]senseless people,
Who have (A)eyes but do not see,
Who have ears but do not hear.
22 Do you not (B)fear Me?’ declares the Lord.
‘Do you not tremble in My presence?
For I have (C)placed the sand as a boundary for the sea,
An eternal limit, and it will not cross over it.
Though the waves toss, they cannot prevail;
Though they roar, they will not cross over it.
23 But this people has a (D)stubborn and rebellious heart;
They have turned aside and departed.
24 They do not say in their heart,
“Let us now fear the Lord our God,
Who (E)gives rain in its season,
Both (F)the autumn rain and the spring rain,
Who keeps for us
The (G)appointed weeks of the harvest.”
25 Your (H)wrongdoings have turned these away,
And your sins have kept good away from you.
26 For wicked people are found among My people,
They (I)watch like fowlers [b]lying in wait;
They set a trap,
They catch people.
27 Like a cage full of birds,
So their houses are full of (J)deceit;
Therefore they have become great and rich.
28 They are (K)fat, they are sleek,
They also [c]excel in deeds of wickedness;
They do not plead the cause,
The cause of the [d](L)orphan, so that they may be successful;
And they do not [e]defend the rights of the poor.
29 (M)Shall I not punish them for these things?’ declares the Lord,
‘Or shall I not avenge Myself
On a nation such as this?’
30 “An appalling and (N)horrible thing
Has happened in the land:
31 The (O)prophets prophesy falsely,
And the priests rule [f]on their own authority;
And My people (P)love it this way!
But what will you do [g]when the end comes?

Jeremiah 5:21-31
New International Version
21 Hear this, you foolish and senseless people,(A)
who have eyes(B) but do not see,
who have ears but do not hear:(C)
22 Should you not fear(D) me?” declares the Lord.
“Should you not tremble(E) in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,(F)
an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
they may roar,(G) but they cannot cross it.
23 But these people have stubborn and rebellious(H) hearts;
they have turned aside(I) and gone away.
24 They do not say to themselves,
‘Let us fear(J) the Lord our God,
who gives autumn and spring rains(K) in season,
who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’(L)
25 Your wrongdoings have kept these away;
your sins have deprived you of good.(M)
26 “Among my people are the wicked(N)
who lie in wait(O) like men who snare birds
and like those who set traps(P) to catch people.
27 Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;(Q)
they have become rich(R) and powerful
28 and have grown fat(S) and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
they do not seek justice.
They do not promote the case of the fatherless;(T)
they do not defend the just cause of the poor.(U)
29 Should I not punish them for this?”
declares the Lord.
“Should I not avenge(V) myself
on such a nation as this?
