“To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.”
Eliphaz states that God sets the lowly on high and raises the mourners to safety, describing a pattern in which God reverses human fortune and restores the afflicted to peace. The assertion of divine restoration becomes the foundation for Eliphaz's recommendation that Job should trust that his current affliction will be reversed. The pattern described suggests that suffering is not permanent but part of a cycle that includes restoration.
