Contextual Overview
1Then Job answered:2No doubt you are the people,and wisdom will die with you! 3But I also have a mind like you;I am not inferior to you.Who doesn’t know the things you are talking about? 4I am a laughingstock to my friends,by calling on God, who answers me.The righteous and upright man is a laughingstock. 5The one who is at ease holds calamity in contemptand thinks it is prepared for 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.
