Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Job 11:12

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

12. vain —hollow. would be —"wants to consider himself wise"; opposed to God's "wisdom" (see on Job 11:1 ); refuses to see sin, where God sees it ( Romans 1:22 ). wild ass's colt —a proverb for untamed wildness ( Job 39:5 ; Job 39:8 ; Jeremiah 2:24 ; Genesis 16:12 ; Hebrew, "a wild-ass man"). Man wishes to appear wisely obedient to his Lord, whereas he is, from his birth, unsubdued in spirit. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
