Job 12 · Grade 4

All Creation Knows

Name Date

Read and Think

Job answered Zophar with sharp words. No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you, he said. He had understanding as well as they did. He felt like a joke to his neighbors, though he was just and blameless.

Job said even the animals know what the friends claim to teach. Ask the animals, the birds of the sky, the earth, and the fish of the sea. All of them know that Yahweh's hand has done this. In His hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.

Job described God's wisdom and power. With God is wisdom and might. He breaks down and builds, withholds the waters and sends them out. He leads counselors away and makes judges fools. He loosens the bond of kings and increases the nations. Job agreed God is sovereign over all.

Job 12 · Grade 5

The Breath of All Mankind

Name Date

Read and Think

Job answers Zophar with irony. No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you. But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. He feels like a joke to his neighbor, though he called on God and God answered him. The just, the blameless man is a joke. He notes that those at ease have contempt for the misfortune of others.

Job says the friends' lesson is common knowledge. But ask the animals now, and they will teach you; the birds of the sky, and they will tell you. Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you. The fish of the sea will declare to you. Who doesn't know that in all these, Yahweh's hand has done this, in whose hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind? This is the only time in the dialogues that Job uses the name Yahweh.

Job then praises God's sovereign wisdom. With God is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding. He breaks down, and it can't be built again. He withholds the waters, and they dry up. He leads counselors away stripped and makes judges fools. He uncovers deep things out of darkness. Job agrees God is all-powerful. What troubles him is not God's power but why that power has come against him.

  1. How does Job answer Zophar's claim to wisdom?

  2. What does Job say the animals, birds, earth, and fish know?

  3. What does Job say is in God's hand?

  4. What is unusual about Job's use of the name Yahweh here?

  5. What troubles Job, if not God's power?
