Job 5:18

The Pulpit Commentary on Job 5:18

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

For he maketh sore, and bindeth up. Metaphors drawn from the healing art. He "maketh sore"—applies the scalpel and the cautery when and where they are needed; and then, after a while, "bindeth up"—employs his lint and bandages; in both cases alike seeking the good of the sufferer.

He woundeth, and his hands make whole (setup. ; ).
