JOB 5:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
Job 5:15Job 5:17
So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
Eliphaz asserts that the poor have hope and that injustice shuts its mouth, suggesting that divine justice ultimately prevails and silences those who would perpetrate wrongdoing. The silencing of injustice represents the triumph of right order over disorder. The hope granted to the poor suggests that ultimate vindication belongs to the righteous, whatever their current suffering may be.
