'Beasts' in the Bible

At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh; Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:

Wherefore are we counted as beasts, And are become unclean in your sight?

The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby.

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens?

Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens.

Surely the mountains bring him forth food, Where all the beasts of the field do play.
