Job 12,7-25 - Kto si chce v plnej miere vysvetliť utrpenie Jóbovo, tomu nestačí odvolávať sa na Božiu múdrosť, o ktorej nemôže nikto mať pochybnosti, keďže aj nemé tvorstvo svojím počínaním podáva dôkazy o nej (verš 7–10), ale musí brať zreteľ aj na iné Božie vlastnosti. Nestačí ani odkazovať na životnú skúsenosť starších predkov (verš 12). Lebo pozorovanie Božej múdrosti – ako ňou pôsobí Boh v celom viditeľnom svete – dostatočne ukazuje, že Boh nezávisle na vôli kohokoľvek, bez ohľadu na zásluhu alebo vinu môže dopustiť nešťastia. Boh nechce zlo, ale ho pripúšťa, lebo človek má slobodnú vôľu.

Job 12,16 - Pri hriešnych zvodcoch stretáme sa v živote s ľuďmi, ktorí bez svojej viny dostali sa do osudného bludu.
