“When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person. the humble: Heb. him that hath low eyes”
Job 22:29 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 22:29
Eliphaz promises: 'When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.' The verb shaphel (שָׁפֵל, cast down) means to be brought low or humbled. Gavah (גָּוָה, lifting up) suggests exaltation or pride—a difficult phrase variously translated. Shach eynayim (שַׁח עֵינַיִם, humble person) literally means 'lowly of eyes.' Eliphaz promises that if Job repents, God will restore and save him. The promise is true in appropriate contexts (James 4:10, 1 Peter 5:6) but wrongly assumes Job needs such repentance.
