Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

8. speak to the earth-rather, "the shrubs of the earth" [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 12:7 "But now ask the beasts, and let them teach you; And the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you.
