Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
All Commentaries on Job 35:11 Go To Job 35
John Chrysostom
AD 407
These words mean, do you not see that everything is set in good order, as in a field, and that with an even greater precision each object is in the most convenient place? [Do you not see] that no object exceeds its own limit or steps on the area reserved to another? It is as if the night watches control everything; during the sleep of mortals nobody tries to attack. Observe wild animals. When they move around, that is the time when human beings sleep. They must not invade cities; people must not perish, because they sleep being conquered by sleep.
