Job 5:15
He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth and from the clutches of the powerful.
BSB
ASV
But he saveth from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
KJV
But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
MORAL INTERPRETATION. But he shall save the poor from the sword of their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. For the 'poor' is everyone that is not set up in his own eyes. And hence 'Truth' saith in the Gospel, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Now a person is drawn into sin in two ways. For either he is led on by pleasure, or overcome by fear. For 'the sword of the mouth' is the mischievousness of persuasion, but 'the hand of the mighty' is the opposition of power.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
