¹¹ Who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'

¹² Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, And teach out of your law;

²² Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

²⁶ God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the sky, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

⁷ Yahweh God formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

⁸ But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
