Key Reflection

In Job 5:11, the phrase "who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields" underscores God's provision and care for nature, symbolically foreshadowing His role as a provider of spiritual sustenance and life to His people. Just as rain nourishes the physical crops, so does divine intervention nurture and sustain the spiritual growth of believers.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

To set up on high -That is, who sets up on high; or God exalts those who are low. From the works of nature, Eliphaz passes to the dealings of God with people, as designed to show that he was worthy of confidence. The first proof is, that he showed himself to be the friend of the humble and the afflicted, and often exalted those who were in lowly circumstances, in a manner which evinced his direct interposition.
