Contextual Overview

1 Then Job answered: 2 "You really think you are the only wise people and that when you die, wisdom will die with you! 3 But my mind is as good as yours; you are not better than I am. Everyone knows all these things. 4 My friends all laugh at me when I call on God and expect him to answer me; they laugh at me even though I am right and innocent! 5 Those who are comfortable don't care that others have trouble; they think it right that those people should have troubles.

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.
