“In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.”
King James Version (KJV)
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.
“And when he had brought them into his house, he set meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.”
