“Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: fields: Heb. outplaces”
Job 5:10 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:10
Eliphaz continues: 'Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields.' Rain represents God's providential care and blessing (Deuteronomy 11:14). Eliphaz uses creation theology to support his retribution theology—if God sends rain (blessing) faithfully, He must also send drought (curse) for sin. This assumes a mechanistic relationship between righteousness and prosperity that Jesus explicitly denies (Matthew 5:45). God's providence is gracious, not merely retributive.
