Eliphaz Continues: God Disciplines Those He Loves
“Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn? turn: or, look?”
Job 5:1 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:1
Eliphaz challenges Job: 'Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?' The Hebrew 'qadosh' (saints/holy ones) likely refers to angels rather than deceased righteous humans. Eliphaz sarcastically suggests Job's situation is so hopeless that even angelic intervention won't help—a cruel mockery of Job's suffering. This reveals how religious people can use theology as a weapon to wound rather than a balm to heal.
