SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:7
Antes como las chispas se levantan para volar por el aire , así el hombre nace para la aflicción.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Job 5:7
Verse 7. Yet man is born unto trouble ] lm[l leamal, to labour. He must toil and be careful; and if in the course of his labour he meet with trials and difficulties, he should rise superior to them, and not sink as thou dost. As the sparks By upward. ] Pw[ yhybgy Pr ynbw ubeney resheph yagbihu uph; And the sons of the coal lift up their flight, or dart upwards.
And who are the sons of the coal? Are they not bold, intrepid, ardent, fearless men, who rise superior to all their trials; combat what are termed chance and occurrence; succumb under no difficulties; and rise superior to time, tide, fate, and fortune? I prefer this to all the various meanings of the place with which I have met. Coverdale translates, It is man that is borne unto mysery, like as the byrde for to fle. Most of the ancient versions give a similar sense.
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.
