    People call out to God when they feel the crush of oppression.
        They implore Him for deliverance from the strong hand of tyranny.

        who instructs us in wisdom more than the birds of the air?”

11 who teaches(G) us(H) more than he teaches[a] the beasts of the earth
    and makes us wiser than[b] the birds in the sky?’
