Job 5:1-27
Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.
Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.
But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.
He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful. So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
Trouble is an inevitable part of life. The best course is to turn to God, accept his reproof, and wait to be restored to favor.
There is much in what Eliphaz says, but his diagnosis happens to be wrong in Job's case.
Why?
Fool man is resentment, and the simple man is envy.
People's life always has trouble when he was born, but God is the sovereign God who saves our life and through the trouble to know the Lord.
Blessed is the one whom God corrects, but this case is wrong in Job's case. Job is righteousness.

以利法幫約伯找方法,卻不是約伯受苦的原因,所以也不適用於約會身上。
要回轉、悔改歸向主。同時指出約伯自己以為義人,目前在受神管教、
以利法說的很屬靈,無意中控告約伯,要轉向神。以利法在4章自以為義、5章自以為屬靈。這也是基督徒常用的方法論。除非向非基督徒說,對於基督徒而言是指控,對於已經背負千斤重擔的人要背負萬斤重擔。
屬靈經歷、擴大到別人,神在我的身上的方法,不見得適用於別人。我們只能在旁邊為他們禱告,同理他們所受的苦。我們所知道的有限,讓我們有智慧陪伴、帶領、安慰苦難中的弟兄姊妹。

How?
Do not resentment and envy, for the Lord sees and knows all of the human's deed.
