Job 5:21 says, Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.  This is really a continuation of what Eliphaz had said in the last couple of verses.  God will deliver His people, not only from famine and war, but also from the scourge of the tongue, or those who would speak evil of them.  As Christians, this does not mean that people will never speak badly about us, but that even if they do, God will always be with us to deliver us in the end.  I do believe that we can say that even if he didn't acknowledge it that at this time Eliphaz was speaking evil of Job.  Elipaz was telling Job that he was suffering because of some sin in his life, and we know this wasn't the case.  When we see Christians suffering, as has already been said, we need to remember that this does not mean that they are guilty of sin in their lives.  Satan is going to try to discredit those who are most faithful to God.  Verse twenty-two adds, At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.  I believe that Eliphaz was telling Job that if he was really faithful to God that instead of crying out against God that Job would be laughing and unafraid of the destruction that had fallen on Him.  It is easy for someone who has not faced adversity, especially the crippling kind Job faced, to say that as followers of God we should not let it affect us.  We may know that in the end we will be redeemed and that the things of this world ultimately don't matter, but that does not mean that we will not at times ask God why we are suffering.  Verse twenty-three continues, For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.  Eliphaz said that when we are at peace with God, we are at peace with all of His creation.  Though that will ultimately be true, that is not the case today.  Verse twenty-four states, And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.  This was just a continuation of the idea of being at peace with the world.  Eliphaz was telling Job that when he was right with God that he would live at peace in his household and then he should not sin.  This is the concept of serving God for earthly rewards and we know it is not what the gospel teaches us.  Verse twenty-five adds, Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.  This is a further teaching of material blessings being a sign of obedience to God and adversity being a sign of a person having sin in their life.  Verse twenty-six continues, Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.  Eliphaz told Job that if he was obedient to God that he would live a long and happy life.  We know this is not the case, as many faithful followers of God died very young, and many died because of their faith in God. Verse twenty-seven concludes, Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.  Basically, he was telling Job not to argue with him, because he knew the truth after much studying.  We need to understand that people can do all the studying they want to, even of the Bible, and still come to the wrong conclusions if they are not studying under the leadership of God.  We don't need to claim that our conclusions cannot be disputed if they are not consistent with the teachings of the Bible.
