Contextual Overview
1 Then Job answered: 2 "Without a doubt you are the people, and wisdom will die with you. 3 I also have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these? 4 I am a laughingstock to my friends, I, who called on God and whom he answered— a righteous and blameless man is a laughingstock! 5 For calamity, there is derision (according to the ideas of the fortunate)— a fate for those whose feet slip!

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XII
Job reproves the boasting of his friends, and shows their
uncharitableness towards himself, 1-5;
asserts that even the tabernacles of robbers prosper; and that,
notwithstanding, God is the Governor of the world; a truth
which is proclaimed by all parts of the creation whether
animate or inanimate, and by the revolutions which take place
in states, 6-25.
