Why did Job say creatures and the earth "teach" us? (Job 12:7–10)

7 “But ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
    the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you;
8 or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you;
    and the fish of the sea will declare to you.
9 Who among all these does not know
    that the hand of the Lord has done this?
10 In his hand is the life of every living thing
    and the breath of all mankind.

Job 12:7 - 10

NKJV - ⁷ But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you. ⁸ Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
