Job 12:11

Does not the ear test words? and the mouth taste its food?
All Commentaries on Job 12:11 Go To Job 12

John Chrysostom

AD 407
“It is reason that discerns words, and the palate that recognizes the taste of foods.” Job means, if animals know those things, we, who are endowed with reason, and not only with a palate to eat, know them even better. Or it means, since I am not devoid of reason, I know that. In fact, if God has granted us a palate to recognize the taste of foods, he has also given us reason to make our decisions and the time to acquire knowledge.
