Verse 4 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.
