Job 12:1 says, And Job answered and said,  Again, after listening to Zophar, Job answered not only Zophar, but Bildad and Eliphaz as well.  They had now all spoken, and had all said that Job's suffering was due to sin in his life.  In verse two Job adds, No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.  I think Job was mocking them at least a little.  He said in effect that he believed that they thought they alone knew the truth about God, so when they died, that wisdom would die with them.  We need to be wary of anyone, or any group of people, who think that they alone know the will of God.  We need to remember that Zophar made promises to Job that he implied were from God but were really only his promises.  There is no one who knows so much about God that if they die all wisdom of God will die with them.  Each follower of God has His wisdom indwelling them in the Holy Spirit.  Verse three continues, But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?  Job told his three friends that they really were not the only ones who had an understanding of God.  We know that this is still true today.  Each individual Christian has the knowledge of God in them, as I had just stated above.  The Holy Spirit will guide us to a correct understanding of God's will for our life, and anyone who would judge us based on what they feel is a superior knowledge of God would undermine our faith.  Job may have been suffering almost unbearable pain, but that did not mean that he did not have an understanding of God.  Verse four states, I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.  I believe that Job was talking not only of his actual neighbors, but of these three friends especially.  They had mocked his faith and laughed at him with scorn.  Job told them that sometimes the upright man is indeed scorned by the world.  I believe that Job was reminding them that we cannot judge a man's righteousness by his material or physical status.  Verse five adds, He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.  I believe that Job was saying that those who had the light of God in them, when they appeared to slip in life, were despised by those who lived at ease and felt that this made them superior to those who may have slipped or even fallen.  We today, if we are materially blessed, must never allow this to make us feel morally superior to even the poorest Christian.  Verse six continues, The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.  I believe that Job was saying that the sinful did at times prosper, so you couldn't judge a person's spiritual well-being by their material status.  When we begin to equate materialism with Godliness, then we are proclaiming a false gospel. Those who deny or even hate God do prosper, sometimes more than those who are faithful to God. Verse seven says, But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:  Job begins here to say that even nature proclaims God to us.  Verse eight Job adds, Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.  I believe that Job was saying that the very order of the world declared God's existence.  Verse nine continues, Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?  Job was praising God instead of complaining about Him.  If we find ourselves in trouble, we will do much better to praise God still than to complain about how we are suffering, especially if we attempt to claim that God is causing the suffering.  Verse ten concludes, In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.  Every living thing is indeed a part of God's creation.  I believe that by soul of all the animals Job meant the animating force, and that the breath of all mankind meant the distinct soul of people.  We know that people have an everlasting soul whereas nothing else in creation does.
