<< Job 5:21 Job 5:23 >>
Job 5:22
famine thou shalt laugh—Not, in spite of destruction and famine, which is true (Habakkuk 3:17-18), though not the truth meant by Eliphaz, but because those calamities shall not come upon thee. A different Hebrew word from that in Job 5:20; there, famine in general; here, the languid state of those wanting proper nutriment [BARNES].
