Job 5:6–16, “Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.”
Eliphaz believed that everything in life had a cause and blame could always be apportioned. He was like many people who live today and seek to find blame for problems that occur. Of course, when a person isn’t suffering and they see another person suffering then the person who isn’t suffering feels better if he accuses the other person of wrong doing. Of course, we all live in a world that has been damaged by sin and everybody suffers from the fact that they live in this kind of world. One may suffer and another may not but this doesn’t mean that the person who suffers is any worse than the person who doesn’t. Eliphaz believed that man will naturally head towards trouble unless he commits his way to the Lord. It is the Lord who gives rain to both the good and the bad, in this way those who are having hard times can have hope while those who are having good times can take care.
