Eliphaz Continues to Chastise Job |
Job 5:1-27 Book of Job [in Smaller Chunks] |
Call now, if there [are] any [who] will answer you & to which of the saints will you turn? For [anger] has killed the foolish man & envy slays the [simple minded.] I have seen the foolish taking root, but I suddenly cursed [the place he lived.] |
[Isaiah 45:20-21 Assemble yourselves & come. Draw [close] together, you [who] are escaped [from] the nations. They have no knowledge, [who] set up the wood of their [carved] image & pray to a god that cannot save. You tell & bring them near. |
[Yes,] let them [consult] together. Who has declared this from ancient [times?] Who has told it from that time? Haven’t I, the Lord? And there is no [other] God beside Me; a just God & a Savior. There is none beside Me.] |
His children are far from safety & they are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them. [Jeremiah 2:28 But where are your gods that you [have] made [yourselves?] Let them arise, if they can save you in your time of trouble. O Judah, for your gods are according to the number of your cities.] |
The hungry [eat] up [their] harvest & even [take] it out of the thorns & the robber swallows up their [possessions.] Although affliction [doesn't come out] of the [dirt,] neither does trouble [sprout] out of the ground. Yet man is born unto trouble, & [the words from his mouth,] fly [upwards like] sparks [from the campfire cause harm, & start a forest fire.] |
[But as for me,] I would seek God & I would [surrender] my [case] to God; [Who does] great & marvelous things; unsearchable, without number. Who [gives] rain upon the earth & [sends] waters upon the fields: To set up on high those [who are lowly, so] that those [who] mourn may be exalted to safety. |
[God frustrates the plots] of the [devious,] so their hands can't [carry out] their [plans.] [God takes] the wise in their own craftiness & the [plots of the devious] are carried [away] [head-first.] |
Darkness [comes upon them] in the daytime & [they] grope [at noon like] in the night. But [God] saves the poor from the sword, from their [slander] & from the hand of the mighty. So, the poor have hope & the [sinful] mouth [is stopped.] |
[Look,] happy is the man whom God [corrects.] Therefore, [don't] despise [when] you are [corrected by] the Almighty. For He makes sore & [bandages] up. [God] wounds & His hands make whole. [Revelation 3:19 I [reprimand] & [chastise] as many as I love. Therefore, be zealous & repent.] |
He shall deliver you in 6 troubles & in 7, no evil shall touch you. [God] shall redeem you from death, in famine & from the power of the sword in war. You shall be [hidden] from the [slanderous] tongue & neither shall you be afraid of destruction, when it [comes.] |
You shall laugh at destruction & famine. Neither [shall] you be afraid of [wild animals] of the earth. For you shall be in [joined] with the stones of the field & the [animals] of the field shall be at peace with you. |
And you shall know that your [tent] shall be in peace & you [shall] visit [the place you reside] & [shall] not sin. You [shall] also know that your [descendants] shall be [many] & your offspring [shall be] [like] the grass of the earth. |
You shall come to your grave [at your] full age, like a [stalk] of corn [ripens in its] season. We have searched it [out] & it is so. Hear it & know it, for your [own] good. |
