RED APPLE TREATY 4 ME ONLY's comment on 2023-12-01 11:30:07:

Job 12:9-11

9Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of theLordhath wrought this?

10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.

11Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?

12With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.

13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.

Do you believe that doth ear try words? the ancient wisdom can be use today and the keys unto woman?

I believe every one is born of God and has to have the ears to hear from him and mouth to eat from God but I still feel they choose whether or not how they have life.

Yes I believe and for me the ancient wisdom of God will work in current today with the keys of life unto woman! And I'm a private example and choose life from God to lengthen my days.
