12:6 But 1 the tents of robbers are peaceful,
and those who provoke God are confident 2 –
who carry their god in their hands. 3
1 tn The verse gives the other side of the coin now, the fact that the wicked prosper.
2 tn The plural is used to suggest the supreme degree of arrogant confidence (E. Dhorme, Job, 171).
3 sn The line is perhaps best understood as describing one who thinks he is invested with the power of God.
