Job 5:10,11 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:

God's great power displayed in nature, and in His dealings with men, is a ground for hope to Job (Job 5:16), if he will humbly seek Him (Job 5:8; cf. Job 9:10; Job 36:26, connected with Job 5:9). His unsearchable dealings are with a view to raise the humble, and abase the proud (Luke 1:53). Therefore, Job ought to turn humbly to Him.

Job 5:10-11

10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:e

11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
