Job 6:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 6:21
Job applies the metaphor: 'For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.' The friends are 'nothing' (Hebrew 'lo'—not/nothing), just like the dried-up stream. They see Job's calamity and fear it could happen to them, so they distance themselves by blaming Job. The Hebrew 'yare'' (afraid) reveals self-protective motive—if Job's suffering results from his sin, then their own prosperity proves their righteousness and safety. This exposes how fear drives false theology.
