Key Reflection

Through such preservation, God demonstrates his commitment to those who walk in obedience, even amidst trials and opposition.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing -The word rendered strengthen here means to support; to uphold; to sustain. The idea here is, that God would enable him to bear his sickness, or would impart strength - inward strength - when his body failed, or when but for this aid he must sink under his disease and die. The word rendered languishing means properly languor or sickness; and more generally something sickening; that is, something unclean, unwholesome, nauseating,Job 6:6.
