Job 33:12

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

In all this Job did not sin, nor did he charge God with moral impropriety.

"Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wickedness, from the Almighty to do evil.

"Do you think this to be just: when you say, 'My right before God.'

Indeed, God is exalted in his power; who is a teacher like him?

"Yet you say, 'The Lord's conduct is unjust!' Hear, O house of Israel: Is my conduct unjust? Is it not your conduct that is unjust?

You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who has ever resisted his will?"

I too will answer my part, I too will explain what I know.

I will reply to you, and to your friends with you.

I too will answer my part, I too will explain what I know.

So Job opens his mouth to no purpose; without knowledge he multiplies words."
