Job 27:12

“Behold, all ye yourselves have seen [it], etc.] As they were men of observation, at least made great pretensions to it, as well as of age and experience, they must have seen and observed somewhat at least of the above things; they must have seen the wicked, as David afterwards did, spreading himself like a green bay tree, and the hypocrites in easy and flourishing circumstances, and good men labouring under great afflictions and pressures, and Job himself was now an instance of that before their eyes: why then are ye thus altogether vain? or “become vain in vanity” f949; so exceeding vain, so excessively trifling, as to speak and act against the dictates of their own conscience, against…”

“"Ye yourselves see" that the wicked often are afflicted (though often the reverse, Job 21:33). But do you "vainly" make this an argument to prove from my afflictions that I am wicked?”

“Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it - You have had an opportunity of tracing the proofs of the wisdom of God in his works. Why then are ye thus altogether vain - Why is it that you maintain such opinions - that you evince no more knowledge of his government and plans - that you argue so inconclusively about him and his administration! Why, since you have had an opportunity of observing the course of events, do you maintain that suffering is necessarily a proof of guilt, and that God deals with all people, in this life, according to their character?
