Commentary on Job 12:6

Theological / Devotional

The tabernacles of robbers. Better, “the tents of robbers.” Verse 5 laments the troubles of the unfortunate. This verse contrasts the apparent prosperity of the wicked. Job is insisting that God does not treat men in this world according to their real character, but that the wicked are prospered and the righteous are afflicted. Into whose hand. The Hebrew of this line is uncertain. Some conjecturally translate it, “who bring their god in their hand,” as though they have no God but their own strong arm (see RSV).
