"Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?" — Job 35:11 (ASV)
Who teaches us. —Or it may be, Who teaches us by, and makes us wise by, etc. Then the sense will be that the oppression is so severe that the victims of it forget that God can give songs in the night, and that He has favoured men more than the beasts of the field, and that, as not one sparrow can fall to the ground without Him, so He has even numbered the hairs of those who are of more value to Him than many sparrows.
