Bible Verses About Nature

“But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:”

— Job 12:7

"The heavens declare the glory of God" — Psalm 19 claims creation is a broadcast, and Psalm 104 is its longest transcript. These verses are the nature-writing of Scripture. The fifteen verses below are the Bible's direct address to that situation, shown in full KJV text from Job 12:7 to Isaiah 40:26.

Quick answer: The best-known verse about nature here is Job 12:7: "But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:" Job 12:9 follows close behind: "Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?"
