Commentary on Job 12:4

Theological / Devotional

Who calleth upon God. It is not entirely clear to whom this statement applies. If it alludes to Job, it would refer to his past, when he was accustomed to receive answers to his prayers; if to Zophar, it would be an ironical thrust at him. Job is lamenting the fact that he, a man of upright character, who knows God, should find himself an object of ridicule.
