"Does he think he, like wisdom, existed before the creation of the long-enduring mountains (Proverbs 8:25)? Does he suppose he has access to God's secret counsels? Does he think only he is wise?" (Zuck p. 70). Does Job have some kind of inside track to God's council chambers? Actually, this is an unfair accusation, for Job had not claimed that he was wiser than his friends, but simply their equal (Job 12:3; Job 13:2).
