American Standard Version
"Doth not the ear try words, Even as the palate tasteth its food? "
— Job 12:11, American Standard Version
“Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?”
“Doesn't the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food?”
“Does not the ear test words, as the tongue tastes food?”
“Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste?”
“Are not words tested by the ear, even as food is tasted by the mouth?”
“Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?”
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 Jehovah hath wrought this,
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?
Doth not the ear try words, Even as the palate tasteth its food?
With aged men is wisdom, And in length of days understanding.
WithGodis wisdom and might; 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.
