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.
