“Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; affliction: or, iniquity”
Job 5:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:6
Eliphaz declares, 'Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground.' The Hebrew 'aven' (affliction/trouble) and 'amal' (labor/trouble) suggest hardship doesn't arise randomly. Eliphaz's point is sound—suffering has causes—but he wrongly assumes all suffering directly results from personal sin. Reformed theology affirms God's sovereignty over all events while distinguishing between suffering as judgment, testing, sanctification, or participating in Christ's sufferings (1 Peter 4:12-13).
