Job 22:29
When men are brought low and you say, ‘Lift them up!’ then He will save the lowly.
BSB
ASV
When they cast thee down, thou shalt say, There is lifting up; And the humble person he will save.
KJV
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
For he that has been abased shall be in glory, and he that has bent down his eyes, the same shall be saved. Which same sentence is not at variance with the mouth of 'Truth,' when It says, For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased, and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. And hence it is said by Solomon, Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honour is humility.
When men are cast down - The meaning of this is, probably, when people are usually cast down, or in the times of trial and calamity, which prostrate others, you shall find support. You shall then be enabled to say, “there is lifting up, or there is support.” Or, more probably still, it may mean, “in times when others are cast down and afflicted, thou shalt be able to raise them up, or to aid them. Thou shalt be able to go to them and say, ‘Be of good cheer. Do not be cast down.
Therefore it is better, I think, to take the first clause as referred to by "God resisteth the proud." When (men) are cast down, thou shalt say (behold the effects of) pride. Eliphaz hereby justifies himself for attributing Job's calamities to his pride. "Giveth grace to the humble," answers to the second clause.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
