Wesley's Notes

12:6 Are secure - Job's friends had all supposed, that wicked men cannot prosper long in the world. This Job opposes, and maintains, that God herein acts as sovereign, and reserves that exact distribution of rewards and punishments for the other world.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

6. Job shows that the matter of fact opposes Zophar's theory (Job 11:14, 19, 20) that wickedness causes insecurity in men's "tabernacles." On the contrary, they who rob the "tabernacles" ("dwellings") of others "prosper securely" in their own.

into whose hand, &c.-rather, "who make a god of their own hand," that is, who regard their might as their only ruling principle [Umbreit].

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

12:6-11 Job appeals to facts. The most audacious robbers, oppressors, and impious wretches, often prosper. Yet this is not by fortune or chance; the Lord orders these things. Worldly prosperity is of small value in his sight: he has better things for his children. Job resolves all into the absolute proprietorship which God has in all the creatures. He demands from his friends liberty to judge of what they had said; he appeals to any fair judgment.


Job 9:24 "The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
Job 21:7 "Why do the wicked still live, Continue on, also become very powerful?
Job 22:18 "Yet He filled their houses with good things; But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Job 24:23 "He provides them with security, and they are supported; And His eyes are on their ways. (NASB ©1995)
