"He Alone Has True Counsel And Understanding" from Job 12:1-25

One of the highlights here at Job, is to prove what faith is. Here Job answer the accusation of Zophar. We should not be wise in our own eyes.

1st pt. verse 1-12 means like opinionated.

James 3:15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.

Isaiah 5:21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
and clever in their own sight.

Inferior means low. Job defend himself that we are all equal and only God is the highest. You can learn on animals and creatures, of what their lives. Like the example of Jesus that we should be like birds, we should trust God just like them.

Key verse:

Job12:13 “To God belong wisdom and power;
counsel and understanding are his.

2nd pt. verse 13-25.

Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power;
his understanding has no limit.

Proverbs 2:6-7 6 For the LORD gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
7 He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,

Colossians 2:3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Wisdom of God is like a treasure.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

True victory comes from Him. Shackles means just like a chain. If your in the bandage of sin, God can help you.

John 12:8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me.”

Deprives means disagree. God has wisdom and strength, for he alone has true counsel and understanding.
