<p class="tab-1">Eliphaz, in the foregoing chapter, for the making good of his charge against Job, had vouched a word from heaven, sent him in a vision. In this chapter he appeals to those that bear record on earth, to the saints, the faithful witnesses of Gods truth in all ages, <a class="bibleref" title="Job.5.1" href="/passage/?search=Job.5.1">Job 5:1</a>. They will testify, I. That the sin of sinners is their ruin, <a class="bibleref" title="Job.5.2-Job.5.5" href="/passage/?search=Job.5.2-Job.5.5">Job 5:2-5</a>. II. That yet affliction is the common lot of mankind, <a class="bibleref" title="Job.5.6,Job.5.7" href="/passage/?search=Job.5.6,Job.5.7"><span class="bibleref" title="Job.5.6">Job 5:6</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="Job.5.7">7</span></a>. III. That when we are in affliction it is our wisdom and duty to apply to God, for he is able and ready to help us, <a class="bibleref" title="Job.5.8-Job.5.16" href="/passage/?search=Job.5.8-Job.5.16">Job 5:8-16</a>. IV. That the afflictions which are borne well will end well; and Job particularly, if he would come to a better temper, might assure himself that God had great mercy in store for him, <a class="bibleref" title="Job.5.17-Job.5.27" href="/passage/?search=Job.5.17-Job.5.27">Job 5:17-27</a>. So that he concludes his discourse in somewhat a better humour than he began it.</p>
