| Job 12:9 | Who knoweth not in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this, | Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this? | Who does not see by all these that the hand of the Lord has done this? | `Who hath not known in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath done this? |
