Contextual Overview

1Then Job answered:2"Truly then you are the people, and wisdom will die with you! 3But I also have a mind; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these? 4I am a laughingstock to my friends, though I called on God, and He answered. The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock. 5The one at ease scorns misfortune as the fate of those whose feet are slipping.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Job answered and said. In reply to Zophar, and in defence of himself; what is recorded in this and the two following chapters.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XII

Job reproves the boasting of his friends, and shows their

uncharitableness towards himself, 1-5;

asserts that even the tabernacles of robbers prosper; and that,

notwithstanding, God is the Governor of the world; a truth

which is proclaimed by all parts of the creation whether

animate or inanimate, and by the revolutions which take place

in states, 6-25.
