 Wounded Soldiers Retreating from Russia (c. 1814) Theodore Gericault (1791-1824) Romanticism Style Musee des Beaux-Arts de Rouen, Rouen, France Image Source: Web Gallery of Art [ Illustration: Today's image reminds us of verse 18 (where God is described as the one who wounds and who heals those whom he has wounded), and of verse 20 (were God delivers from the power of the sword). The chapter discusses deliverance from many other types of afflictions, as well. ] SPECIAL NOTE: [ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no chapters will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ] Explanation: In Job 5, Eliphaz concludes his argument against Job. In the previous chapter Eliphaz began to chide Job for his supposed sins. He concluded his attack in this chapter. He presented three basic points on how Job could obtain deliverance: he must not trust someone else, not even the holy ones, for deliverance; he must not trust himself; he must trust God alone. 1. Trusting Others. To make his first point, Eliphaz asked who, even among the holy ones, could help Job (1). 2. Trusting Himself. To make his second point, Eliphaz denigrated Job's morality. Eliphaz began his attack on Job's morality with some implied comparisons: he told Job that fools and (moral) simpletons perish. Eliphaz also cited his personal experience, saying that he had seen fools taking root only to be cursed -- their children being unsafe and slain, and their food and goods stolen. These things happened to Job, so the clear implication is that Job was a fool and a moral simpleton. For these reasons Job could not trust his morality for deliverance (2-5). 3. Trusting God. To make his third point, Eliphaz told Job that Job must trust God because Job is weak (6-7), and because God is strong (8-27). Job is weak (6-7). In illustration of that fact, Eliphaz said that affliction does not grow naturally out of the ground like a plant (6); but it is natural to man because he is born into it, in much the way that sparks (literally, "the sons of coals") are naturally thrust into the air (7). God is strong (8-27). Eliphaz offered several illustrations of this fact. Eliphaz said that he sought God (and, implicitly, so should Job) because God does great and unsearchable things in nature and in the affairs of men, giving rain, watering the fields, exalting the low, disappointing the crafty, and saving the poor from the violent and the mighty (8-16). Eliphaz also told Job to trust God because God's discipline brings blessing (17-27). He told Job not to despise the chastening of the Almighty because God makes sore and binds up; he wounds and makes whole (17-18). God also will deliver him from multiple troubles so that no evil can touch him (19). He will deliver him from famine and war (20). He will deliver him from the scourge of the tongue and from destruction (21). He will make Job to be in league with nature ("the stones of the field") and will deliver him from the beasts of the earth (22-23). His habitation will be in peace and we will be free from sin (24). His children will be great and numerous (25). He will live long and prosper (26). This, says Eliphaz, is true; and Job should know it for his good (27). [ Sermons: Joseph Pipa 1. Joseph Pipa 2.

I have attempted to list conservative, scholarly resources. However, some providers use liberal or liberal-influenced commentaries such as the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges (in Bible Hub). Such commentaries are undoubtedly included by the provider for the wealth of useful information and comments which they provide. By consulting several commentaries, it should be fairly easy to sort out the wheat from the chaff. If, however, you would like personal assistance, write to me at AD LIB ARTS EMAIL.
