“No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.”
Job 12:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 12:2
Job responds with biting sarcasm: 'No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.' The Hebrew literally reads 'Truly you are the people'—Job mocks his friends' assumption that they possess exclusive wisdom. The phrase 'wisdom shall die with you' suggests they think themselves the repository of all understanding. Job's sarcasm reveals his frustration with their self-righteous certainty. They offer conventional wisdom as though it were revelation, unable to acknowledge that their theology fails to explain his situation.
