“With him is strength and wisdom: The deceived and the deceiver are his.”
Job 12:16 KJV
Strength and success belong to God; both deceived and deceiver must answer to him. Job replies to Zophar the Namaathite and challenges his words. Job has had a relationship with Yahweh and knows the nature of God better than his three friends! So he scorns Zophar’s clumsy comfort. Job, Daniel and many other prophets and kings recognised that God is mighty, and despises not any: He is mighty in strength and wisdom. In the new covenant, this has come to us through Jesus Christ. As Paul put it that for those who are the called, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. The whole of heaven resounds with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. We echo this sound on earth. Hallelujah!
