Holy Scripture

Job 12:7

A church father on this verse
“Why do you behave as if you had made a great and wonderful discovery? It was necessary, in fact, that such a man died, and nobody ignores it. At the same time, we all know that "in his hand is the life of every human being." Do you see how not only creation but Providence also testifies to God? They both give witness…”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — COMMENTARY ON JOB 12:7A-10B

In context

5For it had been ordained that he should fall under others at the appointed time, And that his houses should be spoiled by transgressors: Let not however anyone trust that, being evil, he shall be held guiltless,

6Even as many as provoke the Lord, As if there were indeed to be no inquisition made of them.

— Job 12:7 —

8Tell the earth, if it may speak to thee: And the fish of the sea shall explain to thee.

9Who then has not known in all these things, That the hand of the Lord has made them?
