SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:10
Que da la lluvia sobre la faz de la tierra, y envía las aguas sobre las faces de las plazas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 5:10
Verse 10. Who giveth rain upon the earth ] The Chaldee gives this verse a fine turn: "Who gives rain on the face of the land of Israel, and sends waters on the face of the provinces of the people." Similar to our Lord's saying, which is expressed in the half of the compass: Your Father which is in heaven-SENDETH RAIN ON THE JUST AND ON THE UNJUST; Matt. v. 45. Sendeth waters upon the fields ] The term twxj chutsoth, which we translate fields, and generally signifies streets, may here mean those plantations which are laid out in ridges or plats, in an orderly, regular manner. God does not only send rain upon the earth in a general manner, but, by an especial providence, waters the cultivated ground, so that not one ridge is destitute of its due proportion of fructifying moisture.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-16 - Eliphaz reminds Job, that no affliction comes by chance, nor is to be placed to second causes. The difference between prosperity an adversity is not so exactly observed, as that between day and night summer and winter; but it is according to the will and counsel of God We must not attribute our afflictions to fortune, for they are from God; nor our sins to fate, for they are from ourselves. Man is born i sin, and therefore born to trouble. There is nothing in this world we are born to, and can truly call our own, but sin and trouble. Actua transgressions are sparks that fly out of the furnace of origina corruption. Such is the frailty of our bodies, and the vanity of all our enjoyments, that our troubles arise thence as the sparks fl upward; so many are they, and so fast does one follow another. Elipha reproves Job for not seeking God, instead of quarrelling with him. I any afflicted? let him pray. It is heart's ease, a salve for ever sore. Eliphaz speaks of rain, which we are apt to look upon as a littl thing; but if we consider how it is produced, and what is produced by it, we shall see it to be a great work of power and goodness. Too ofte the great Author of all our comforts, and the manner in which they ar conveyed to us, are not noticed, because they are received as things of course. In the ways of Providence, the experiences of some ar encouragements to others, to hope the best in the worst of times; for it is the glory of God to send help to the helpless, and hope to the hopeless. And daring sinners are confounded, and forced to acknowledg the justice of God's proceedings.
