“In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.”
Eliphaz promises that God will redeem from death in famine and from the power of the sword in war, suggesting that divine protection extends specifically to the ultimate dangers of starvation and violence. The promise of deliverance from famine and the sword invokes the ultimate threats to human survival. Eliphaz's promises become increasingly grand in scope, suggesting that God's protection is comprehensive and ultimate.
