In the cultural context of the Ancient Near East, being "the people" often implied a sense of superiority or chosen status. Job's friends, particularly Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, believed they had a special understanding of God's ways. This phrase challenges their assumed authority and wisdom, suggesting that they are not as insightful as they believe.<p><b>with whom wisdom itself will die!</b><br>Job continues his sarcasm by implying that his friends think they possess all wisdom, and that it will perish with them. This reflects the biblical theme that true wisdom comes from God alone, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/2-6.htm">Proverbs 2:6</a>, "For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Job's statement underscores the limitations of human wisdom compared to divine wisdom. It also foreshadows the later chapters where God Himself speaks, revealing the vastness of His wisdom and the limitations of human understanding. This phrase can be seen as a critique of the self-righteousness and presumption of Job's friends, who fail to grasp the deeper spiritual truths of Job's suffering.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>A man described as blameless and upright, who feared God and shunned evil.
