“But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.”
Eliphaz states that God saves the needy from the sword of their mouth and the poor from the hand of the mighty, suggesting that divine justice protects the vulnerable from exploitation. The sword of the wicked person's mouth represents destructive speech; the hand of the mighty represents oppressive power. God's rescue of the needy and poor suggests that ultimate justice operates in favor of the afflicted and against their oppressors.
