7 Even birds and animals have much they could teach you;
8 ask the creatures of earth and sea for their wisdom.
9 All of them know that the Lord's hand made them.
10 It is God who directs the lives of his creatures;everyone's life is in his power.
11 But just as your tongue enjoys tasting food,your ears enjoy hearing words.
12-13 Old people have wisdom,but God has wisdom and power.Old people have insight;God has insight and power to act.
14 When God tears down, who can rebuild,and who can free those God imprisons?
