Job 11:12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12 : Zophar says that people often want to be wise, but by nature, they are like wild donkeys—stubborn and unteachable. God sees that people think they are smart, but a man can no more become wise than a wild donkey’s colt can be born human . People are empty and foolish. The Bible says, Man in his pomp will not remain; he is like the beasts that perish (Psalm 49:20 ). Only God's grace can change us. Many people are proud and want to be wise, but they do not want to obey wisdom. Like Adam and Eve, they reach for forbidden knowledge and lose what really matters. People who truly understand how great God is, and how small they are, will act humbly toward God.

‏ Job 11:12

v. 12: Zophar says that people often want to be wise, but by nature, they are like wild donkeys—stubborn and unteachable. God sees that people think they are smart, but a man can no more become wise than a wild donkey’s colt can be born human. People are empty and foolish. The Bible says, Man in his pomp will not remain; he is like the beasts that perish(Psalm 49:20 ^a). Only God's grace can change us. Many people are proud and want to be wise, but they do not want to obey wisdom. Like Adam and Eve, they reach for forbidden knowledge and lose what really matters. People who truly understand how great God is, and how small they are, will act humbly toward God.
