Job 12:7
Douay-Rheims
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee.
John Chrysostom
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 that he controls everything and supports both the life and soul of human beings, so well that he can, when he wants, punish and correct them.
