Commentary for Job 35:11

מַ֭לְּפֵנוּ מִבַּהֲמ֣וֹת אָ֑רֶץ וּמֵע֖וֹף הַשָּׁמַ֣יִם יְחַכְּמֵֽנוּ׃

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?’

Rashi on Job

Who teaches us He teaches us more wisdom than [He does] the beasts; i.e., He esteemed us and made us greater than the beasts and the birds.
