Contextual Overview
1 And Job answereth and saith: -- 2 Truly -- ye [are] the people, And with you doth wisdom die. 3 I also have a heart like you, I am not fallen more than you, And with whom is there not like these? 4 A laughter to his friend I am: `He calleth to God, and He answereth him,' A laughter [is] the perfect righteous one. 5 A torch -- despised in the thoughts of the secure Is prepared for those sliding with the feet.

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.
