Job 5:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:21
Eliphaz promises: 'Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid when destruction cometh.' The 'scourge of the tongue' refers to slander and false accusation—ironically what Eliphaz himself inflicts on Job. The promise of being hidden ('chaba') from verbal attacks reflects God's protection (Psalm 31:20), but Eliphaz's conditional promise denies that God sometimes allows His servants to be slandered for His purposes (Matthew 5:11-12).
