Holy Scripture
Job 12:9
A church father on this verse
“Why do you behave as if you had made a great and wonderful discovery? It was necessary, in fact, that such a man died, and nobody ignores it. At the same time, we all know that "in his hand is the life of every human being." Do you see how not only creation but Providence also testifies to God? They both give witness…”

In context
7But ask now the beasts, if they may speak to thee; And the birds of the air, if they may declare to thee.
8Tell the earth, if it may speak to thee: And the fish of the sea shall explain to thee.
— Job 12:9 —
10Whereas the life of all living things is in his hand, And the breath of every man.
11For the ear tries words, And the palate tastes meats.
