Verse 11 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.

Prüft nicht das Ohr die Rede? und der Mund schmeckt die Speise?
Ciertamente el oído distingue las palabras, Y el paladar gusta las viandas.
¿No examina el oído las palabras como el paladar prueba los alimentos?
L'oreille ne discerne-t-elle pas les paroles, Comme le palais savoure les aliments?
L’orecchio non prova egli le parole, Come il palato assapora le vivande?
Porventura o ouvido não provará as palavras, como o paladar prova as comidas?
耳朵豈不辨別言語, 正如上膛品嘗食物嗎?
