Job 12:13-16

God has the answers to all our questions. When we rely on Him there is joy in knowing that His wisdom is infinitely greater than mans’.

Job believes that God is in the process of slowly taking his life. But in a bold declaration of faith, Job declares his absolute trust in God, for when he would be brought into God’s presence, he would plead his cause directly with God. And then, if not before, Job would rediscover what he had never really lost: God’s love and salvation.

Job 12:13-16

¹³  “With God are wisdom and might;

he has counsel and understanding.

¹⁴  If he tears down, none can rebuild;

if he shuts a man in, none can open.

¹⁵  If he withholds the waters, they dry up;

if he sends them out, they overwhelm the land.

¹⁶  With him are strength and sound wisdom;

the deceived and the deceiver are his.
