SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:24

El quita el seso de las cabezas del pueblo de la tierra, y les hace que se pierdan vagando sin camino;

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 12:24

Verse 24. He taketh away the heart of the
chief ] Suddenly deprives the leaders of great counsels, or mighty armies of courage; so that, panic-struck, they flee when none pursueth, or are confounded when about to enter on the accomplishment of important designs.

And causeth them to wander in a wilderness ] A plain allusion to the journeyings of the Israelites in the deserts of Arabia, on their way to the promised land. Their chief, Aaron, had his courage all taken away by the clamours of the people; and so made them a molten calf to be the object of their worship, which defection from God was the cause of their wandering nearly forty years in the trackless wilderness. The reference is so marked, that it scarcely admits of a doubt; yet Houbigant and some others have called it in question, and suppose that those chiefs or heads of families which led out colonies into distant parts are principally intended. It answers too well to the case of the Israelites in the wilderness to admit of any other interpretation.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12-25 - This is a noble discourse of Job concerning the wisdom, power, an sovereignty of God, in ordering all the affairs of the children of men according to the counsel of His own will, which none can resist. I were well if wise and good men, who differ about lesser things, woul see how it is for their honour and comfort, and the good of others, to dwell most upon the great things in which they agree. Here are n complaints, or reflections. He gives many instances of God's powerfu management of the children of men, overruling all their counsels, an overcoming all their oppositions. Having all strength and wisdom, God knows how to make use, even of those who are foolish and bad; otherwis there is so little wisdom and so little honesty in the world, that all had been in confusion and ruin long ago. These important truths wer suited to convince the disputants that they were out of their depth in attempting to assign the Lord's reasons for afflicting Job; his way are unsearchable, and his judgments past finding out. Let us remar what beautiful illustrations there are in the word of God, confirmin his sovereignty, and wisdom in that sovereignty: but the highest an infinitely the most important is, that the Lord Jesus was crucified by the malice of the Jews; and who but the Lord could have known that thi one event was the salvation of the world __________________________________________________________________
