Job12:12
12. With the ancient is Wisdom, and in length of days Understanding .
These words contain a concession of what Bildad had said, ch. 8. 8, 9. and a joining with him in that appeal; but withal, an intimation, that this Wisdom was but sinite, and imperfect, and liable to many mistakes; and indeed meer Ignorance and Folly, if compared with the divine Wisdom, of which he speaks in the next and following Verses. And therefore that antiquity which they pretended for their Opinion, ought not to be received against the Oracles or Truths of the eternal and most wise God.
