SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:12
He aquí que todos vosotros lo habéis visto, ¿por qué pues os desvanecéis con vanidad?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 27:12
Verse 12. Ye yourselves have seen it ] Your own experience and observation have shown you that the righteous are frequently in affliction, and the wicked in affluence. Why then are ye thus altogether vain? ] The original is very emphatical: wlbht lbh hebel tehbalu, and well expressed by Mr. Good: "Why then should ye thus babble babblings!" It our language would allow it, we might say vanitize vanity.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-23 - Job's friends, on the same subject, spoke of the misery of wicked me before death as proportioned to their crimes; Job considered that if it were not so, still the consequences of their death would be dreadful Job undertook to set this matter in a true light. Death to a godly man is like a fair gale of wind to convey him to the heavenly country; but to a wicked man, it is like a storm, that hurries him away to destruction. While he lived, he had the benefit of sparing mercy; but now the day of God's patience is over, and he will pour out upon his his wrath. When God casts down a man, there is no flying from, no bearing up under his anger. Those who will not now flee to the arms of Divine grace, which are stretched out to receive them, will not be able to flee from the arms of Divine wrath, which will shortly be stretche out to destroy them. And what is a man profited if he gain the whol world, and thus lose his own soul __________________________________________________________________
