1-6:  Job maintains himself against his friends that reprove him.
7-25:  He acknowledges the general doctrine of God's omnipotence.
Job 12:1• 1And Job answered and said, (Job 12:1)
• In his reply, Job far exceeds Zophar in breadth of thought as well as in vigor of expression. Indeed, it may be remarked that in all the controversy Job has the advantage....It can be seen that his mental suffering is intense, as he is driven by his very theory, which is that of the others, to question the goodness and the justice of God. While they falsely accuse him of evil he knows he is guiltless, and this drives him nearer to the awful rocks of regarding God as using His almighty power in an arbitrary and unjust way. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
• He answers his friends (chaps. 12:1-13; 13). (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
