Contextual Overview

¹ Then Job answered: ² "No doubt you are the people, and wisdom will die with you. ³ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these? ⁴ I am a laughingstock to my friends; I, who called upon God and he answered me, a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock. ⁵ In the thought of one who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; it is ready for those whose feet slip.

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.
