Job 12:6

12:6 But the tents of robbers are peaceful,

and those who provoke God are confident

who carry their god in their hands.


tn The verse gives the other side of the coin now, the fact that the wicked prosper.

tn The plural is used to suggest the supreme degree of arrogant confidence (E. Dhorme, Job, 171).

sn The line is perhaps best understood as describing one who thinks he is invested with the power of God.
