Job 5:19 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:19
Eliphaz promises: 'He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.' The numbers six and seven represent completeness—God delivers from all troubles. This is true theology (Psalm 34:19), but Eliphaz misapplies it as promise of immediate relief if Job repents. Reformed theology affirms that God does deliver His people, but often through suffering rather than from it (2 Corinthians 1:9-10), and that final deliverance comes at glorification, not necessarily in this life.
