Commentary on Job 11:12 (Summary)

Job 11:12 (ESV)

12 But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild donkey’s colt is born a man!

The problem that has led to Job’s suffering does not lie with God, but in Job’s own heart. Therefore, the solution must also lie with a change in Job. Job should learn from God’s discipline and get understanding.
