Contextual Overview

1 So Iob answered, and sayde: 2 Then (no doute) ye are the men alone, and wy?dome shal perish with you. 3 But I haue vnderstodinge as well as ye, and am no lesse then ye. Yee who knoweth not these thinges? 4 Thus he that calleth vpo God, and whom God heareth, is mocked of his neghboure: the godly & innocent man is laughed to scorne. 5 Godlynesse is a light despysed in ye hertes of the rich, & is set for them to stomble vpon.

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.
