Job 12:25

They grope in the dark -They are like persons who attempt to feel their way along in the dark; compare the notes atIsaiah 59:10. And he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man -Margin, “wander.” Their unstable and perplexed counsels are like the reelings of a drunken man; seeIsaiah 19:14, note;Isaiah 24:20, note. This closes the chapter, and with it the controversy in regard to the ability to adduce pertinent and striking proverbial expressions; see the notes atJob 12:3. Job had showed them that he was as familiar with proverbs respecting God as they were, and that he entertained as exalted ideas of the control and government of the Most High as they did.
