Job 5:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 5:8

6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble spring from the ground;

7 Yet man is ^aborn to trouble,
As the sparks fly upward.

8 “But as for me, I would seek God,
And to God I would commit my cause—

9 Who does great things, and unsearchable,
Marvelous things without number.

10 ^aHe gives rain on the earth,
And sends waters on the fields.

11 ^aHe sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.

12 ^aHe frustrates the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
