J O B CHAP. V. Eliphaz, in the foregoing chapter, for the making good of his charge against Job, had vouched a word from heaven, sent him in a vision. In this chapter he appeals to those that bear record on earth, to the saints, the faithful witnesses of God's truth in all ages, Job 5:1 . They will testify, I. That the sin of sinners is their ruin, Job 5:2-5 . II. That yet affliction is the common lot of mankind, Job 5:6 ; Job 5:7 . III. That when we are in affliction it is our wisdom and duty to apply to God, for he is able and ready to help us, Job 5:8-16 . IV. That the afflictions which are borne well will end well; and Job particularly, if he would come to a better temper, might assure himself that God had great mercy in store for him, Job 5:17-27 . So that he concludes his discourse in somewhat a better humour than he began it. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verses-1-5" class="com-number"
