“At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.”
Job 5:22 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:22
Eliphaz continues: 'At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.' To 'laugh' at destruction suggests complete confidence that it cannot harm you. This promise reflects faith in God's sovereign protection (Psalm 91:13), but Eliphaz wrongly makes it conditional on Job repenting from supposed sin. True Reformed theology affirms God's sovereign protection while acknowledging that protection sometimes means preservation through suffering rather than exemption from it.
