Commentary on Job 3:25
Job confesses, 'For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.' This reveals that even in prosperity, Job lived with some level of fear about potential loss. The Hebrew 'pachad' (feared/dreaded) suggests not mere worry but deep foreboding. This raises questions about the relationship between fear and faith, and whether Job's fear was prescient or spiritually problematic. The text doesn't condemn Job's admission, suggesting that even righteous people can harbor fears that God may permit to be realized.
