Commentary on Job 29:12

Theological / Devotional

I delivered. This verse reveals the spirit of Job in contrast with the accusations of his friends (see ch. 22:5-10). One of the most often stressed ethical principles of the OT is justice for the poor and mercy for the helpless (see Ps. 72:12-14; Prov. 21:13; 24:11, 12; Isa. 1:17).
