Job 11:12 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

For, or, yet, vain man would be wise Man, who since the fall is void of all true wisdom, pretends to be wise, and able to pass a censure upon all God's ways and works. Born like a wild ass's colt Ignorant, and dull, and stupid, as to divine things, and yet heady and untractable. Such is man by his birth; this evil is now natural and hereditary, and therefore common to all men: of consequence it is not strange, if Job partake of the common distemper.

Job 11:12

12 For vainc man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
