"Does not the ear test words, as the tongue tastes food?"
— Job 12:11, NET Bible
“Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?”
“Doth not the ear try words, Even as the palate tasteth its food? ”
“Doesn't the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its 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 will teach you, or let the fish of the sea declare to you.
Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this,
in whose hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all the human race.
Does not the ear test words, as the tongue tastes food?
Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?
“With God are wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are his.
If he tears down, it cannot be rebuilt; if he imprisons a person, there is no escape.
