“But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.”
Job 5:15 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:15
Eliphaz continues: 'But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.' God delivers the vulnerable from violence ('sword'), slander ('mouth'), and oppression ('hand of the mighty'). This is true—God defends the defenseless (Psalm 82:3-4). But Eliphaz wrongly implies that Job's suffering proves he's not among the poor/righteous God saves. This ignores that God sometimes permits His people to suffer before eventual deliverance (Hebrews 11:35-38).
