speak to the earth ... will declare to you

Job is saying that the beasts, the birds, the earth, and the fish understand God better than Job's friends do.

Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you

"Or if you speak to the earth, it will teach you"

the fish of the sea will declare to you

"and if you ask the fish of the sea, they will declare to you"
