Job 12:3 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

But I have an understanding Hebrew, a heart, which is often put for the understanding: God hath given me also the knowledge and ability to judge of these matters. I am not inferior to you In these things; which he speaks, not in a way of boasting, but for the just vindication both of himself and of that cause of God, which, for the substance of it, he maintained rightly, as God himself attests, Job 42:6. Who knoweth not such things The truth is, neither you nor I have any reason to be puffed up with our knowledge of these things; for the most barbarous nations know that God is infinite in wisdom, and power, and justice. But this is not the question between you and me.

Job 12:3

3 But I have understandinga as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
