Terrestrial Teachers

"But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee: or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee. Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?" (Job 12:7).

Ask now the beasts and they shall reply,
To teach you that God has created all things.
Ask now the birds of the air why they fly,
And they shall declare Who has given them wings.

Speak to the earth, to the mountains, and trees,
And these shall provide you a clear explanation.
Go to the fishes in all of the seas
And they shall expound on the God of creation.

Who does not know that God by His hand
Has wrought all these marvelous creatures?
Alas! There's so many who won't understand,
In spite of terrestrial teachers!
