'Animals' in the Bible

and the Sabeans attacked and swooped down on them and took away the animals. They also killed the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

“Now ask the animals, and let them teach you [that God does not deal with His creatures according to their character];And ask the birds of the air, and let them tell you;

“Among the bushes they cry out [like wild animals];Beneath the prickly scrub they gather and huddle together.

“Will you have faith and depend on him to return your grainAnd gather it from your threshing floor?

“Surely the mountains bring him food,And all the wild animals play there.
