“He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. their enterprise: or, any thing”
Job 5:12 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:12
Eliphaz praises God who 'disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.' The Hebrew 'parar' (break/frustrate) and 'tushiyah' (enterprise/wisdom) describe God's sovereign disruption of wicked plans. This is true theology (Psalm 33:10), but Eliphaz subtly implies Job must be among the 'crafty' whose plans God frustrated. True application would recognize that God sometimes allows the righteous to suffer while ultimately ensuring the wicked's plans fail.
