Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job spoke again: ² "You people really know everything, don't you? And when you die, wisdom will die with you! ³ Well, I know a few things myself— and you're no better than I am. Who doesn't know these things you've been saying? ⁴ Yet my friends laugh at me, for I call on God and expect an answer. I am a just and blameless man, yet they laugh at me. ⁵ People who are at ease mock those in trouble. They give a push to people who are stumbling.

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.
