Job 5 · Grade 3
Happy Is the One God Corrects
Read the Story
Eliphaz said, But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God. He said God does great things that can't be fathomed. God gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields. He sets up on high those who are low.
Eliphaz said God frustrates the plans of the crafty, saves the needy, and gives the poor hope. He said, Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. He said God wounds and binds up, and His hands make whole.
Eliphaz promised Job peace and many children if he would accept God's correction. Many of his words about God are true. But he was wrong to think Job's trouble was punishment for sin. God later said the friends had not spoken what was right.
