Verse 10 is found in chapter 12 of Job. Job uses irony in responding to his friends: they do not possess exclusive wisdom, because he too has understanding. Even creatures and animals participate through their existence in the testimony that God’s hand governs the world. Job begins expanding the debate from his particular case toward God’s universal rule.

Il tient dans sa main l'âme de tout ce qui vit, Le souffle de toute chair d'homme.
Nella cui mano è l’anima d’ogni uomo vivente, E lo spirito d’ogni carne umana.
Na sua mão está a alma de tudo quanto vive, e o espírito de toda a carne humana.
凡動物的生命 和人類的氣息都在他手中。
