Job 5:25 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:25
Eliphaz promises: 'Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.' Numerous descendants represented divine blessing (Genesis 15:5). For Job, who has lost all ten children, this promise of future children is particularly painful. Eliphaz implies Job can have a new family if he repents, treating Job's deceased children as replaceable and their deaths as deserved. This reveals profound pastoral insensitivity and theological error.
