Job 12:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly. The tabernacles of robbers prosper - Those who live by the plunder of their neighbors are often found in great secular prosperity; and they that provoke God by impiety and blasphemy live in a state of security and affluence. These are administrations of Providence which cannot be accounted for; yet the Judge of all the earth does right. Therefore prosperity and adversity are no evidences of a man's spiritual state, nor of the place he holds in the approbation or disapprobation of God.

Job 12:6

6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
