Job 12:8
6 The tents of robbers are safe, and those who provoke God are secure— those who carry their god in their hands.
7 But ask the animals, and they will instruct you; ask the birds of the air, and they will tell you.
Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; let the fish of the sea inform you.
9 Which of all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?
10 The life of every living thing is in His hand, as well as the breath of all mankind.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
