Wisdom Belongs to God Alone
“With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding. With: that is, With God”
Job 12:13 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 12:13
Job declares: 'With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.' The phrase 'with him' (immo, עִמּוֹ) attributes wisdom exclusively to God. Chokmah (חָכְמָה, wisdom), gevurah (גְבוּרָה, strength), etsah (עֵצָה, counsel), and tevunah (תְּבוּנָה, understanding) comprehensively describe divine attributes. Job affirms God's perfect wisdom while implicitly critiquing his friends—true wisdom resides with God, not with those who presume to explain all His ways. The verse prepares for chapters 12-14 where Job describes God's sovereign power over creation and nations.
