Verse 12 is found in chapter 16 of Job. Job calls his friends miserable comforters and contrasts his situation with what he would do if they were suffering. He describes God through images of an adversary who delivers him to violence. The language should be read as poetry of lament: it expresses Job’s perception from within pain, not an independent narrative description of God’s character.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
