Commentary on Job 12:14

Theological / Devotional

He breaketh down. Job maintains that none can repair what God pulls down. Men may build cities and towns, but God can destroy them by fire, pestilence, or earthquake. Job doubtless stresses this phase of his understanding of God’s sovereignty because in his own experiences he considered himself the object of God’s destructive activity. He shutteth up. God has power to deprive man of his freedom.
