“ But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;

“ But ask the animals what God does. They will teach you. Or ask the birds in the sky. They will tell you.

“ But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;

But ask the animals, and they will instruct you; ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.

“ But just ask the animals, and have them teach you; And the birds of the sky, and have them tell you.

“ But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:

But ask the animals, and they will instruct you; ask the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

“ But now, ask the animals and they will teach you, or the birds of the sky and they will tell you.

“ But ask the animals, now, and they will teach you; the birds of the sky, and they will tell you.

Even an ox knows its owner, and a donkey recognizes its master’s care— but Israel doesn’t know its master. My people don’t recognize my care for them.”

Take a lesson from the ants, you lazybones. Learn from their ways and become wise!

But ask those who have been around, and they will tell you the truth.Evil people are spared in times of calamity and are allowed to escape disaster.
