Job had listened to the drivel of Zophar and the other men long enough and decided to defend himself. Clapping back, he called them out on their arrogance, saying, “No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.” He reminded them he was still wise despite being in a bad situation; his brain didn’t die with his wealth. Then he rebuked them for their conceit, pointing out that God is in charge of every situation, whether good or bad. God can use bad people as well as good people for His purpose. God is sovereign and has dominion over everything, including kings, governments, politicians, and those who think they are powerful. He makes judges fools and kings subject to Him. Those who fear what is happening in our government, relax! God is in control and knows what is best for us. If it is the time of the end, good, we go on to glory. If it is not, God knows our situation, and has our best interest in mind as he orchestrates the events. It is useless for us to worry or concern ourselves with it. However, it is entertaining to watch: it keeps our interest and is tantalizing.
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding. With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening. Job 12:12-14
