Job 12:9

“Who knoweth not in all these, etc.] Or “by” or “from all these” f515 creatures; what man is there so stupid and senseless, that does not discern, or cannot learn, even from irrational creatures, the above things, even what Zophar had discoursed concerning God and his perfections, his power, wisdom and providence? for, by the things that are made, the invisible things of God are clearly seen and understood, even his eternal power and Godhead, ( <450120>Romans 1:20); particularly it may be known by these, and who is it that does not know thereby, that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this? made this visible world, and all things in it, to which Job then pointed as it were with his finger,…”

“In all these cases, says Job, the agency must be referred to Jehovah, though they may seem to man to imply imperfection (Job 12:6; Job 9:24). This is the only undisputed passage of the poetical part in which the name "Jehovah" occurs; in the historical parts it occurs frequently.”

“Who knoweth not in all these - Who cannot see in all these the proofs of the same divine and sovereign agency? Who cannot see the hand of the same God and the same great principles of administration? The meaning of Job is, that the position which he defends is so plain, that it may be learned from the very earth and the lowest orders of animals which God has made. That the hand of the Lord hath wrought this - In this place the original word is יהוה yehovâh. On the meaning of the word see the notes at Isaiah 1:2. The Chaldee also renders it here יה yâhh. It is remarkable that this is the only place where the name yahweh occurs in poetical parts of the book of Job, in the printed editions.…”

“Lord - This is the only time that we meet with the name Jehovah in all the discourses between Job and his friends. For God in that age was more known by the name of Shaddai, the Almighty. Job 12:11”

“12:9 from the hand of the Lord: This is the only place in the dialogues (chs 3–27; 29–37) that the Hebrew Yahweh (“the Lord”) is used. For Job, the dispute was not about who caused his misery but why it happened.”

“Who: Job 12:3; Act 19:35 the hand: Job 22:18; Deu 8:17, Deu 8:18; Sa1 2:7; Jer 27:5, Jer 27:6; Dan 9:17, Dan 5:18; Rom 11:36; Jam 2:5-7 Job 12:10”
