In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
All Commentaries on Job 12:10 Go To Job 12
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Why do you behave as if you had made a great and wonderful discovery? It was necessary, in fact, that such a man died, and nobody ignores it. At the same time, we all know that “in his hand is the life of every human being.” Do you see how not only creation but Providence also testifies to God? They both give witness that he controls everything and supports both the life and soul of human beings, so well that he can, when he wants, punish and correct them.
