“In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. power: Heb. hands”
Job 5:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:20
Eliphaz lists deliverances: 'In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.' The Hebrew 'padah' (redeem) indicates God's ransoming deliverance. Eliphaz's promise is conditionally true—God does often deliver His people—but falsely promises immediate relief upon repentance. This ignores that God's servants sometimes die in famine and war (Hebrews 11:37), not because God failed them, but because God's purposes include martyrdom and suffering witness.
