Job, reproving the uncharitable spirit of Bildad5. acknowledges the power of God to be infinite and unsearchable How you have helped The phrase "how you have helped" in Hebrew is "מָה עֲזַרְתָּ" (mah azar'ta). The root word "עָזַר" (azar) means to help, support, or assist. In the context of Job, this phrase is deeply ironic. Job is responding to Bildad's previous speech, which offered little comfort or practical help. The use of "helped" here underscores the expectation of genuine support and the disappointment when it is not provided. In a broader biblical context, God is often described as a helper, emphasizing His role as a sustainer and protector of His people. This highlights the human need for divine assistance and the inadequacy of human efforts without God's intervention. the powerless and saved the arm that is feeble Hebrew “Howמֶה־ (meh-) Interrogative Strong's 4100: What?, what!, indefinitely what you have helped עָזַ֥רְתָּ (‘ā·zar·tā) Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine singular Strong's 5826: To surround, protect, aid the powerless לְלֹא־ (lə·lō-) Preposition-l | Adverb - Negative particle Strong's 3808: Not, no and saved ה֝וֹשַׁ֗עְתָּ (hō·wō·ša‘·tā) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - second person masculine singular Strong's 3467: To be open, wide, free, to be safe, to free, succor the arm זְר֣וֹעַ (zə·rō·w·a‘) Noun - feminine singular Strong's 2220: The arm, the foreleg, force that is feeble! לֹא־ (lō-) Adverb - Negative particle Strong's 3808: Not, no Links Job 26:2 NIVJob 26:2 NLT Job 26:2 ESV Job 26:2 NASB Job 26:2 KJV Job 26:2 BibleApps.com Job 26:2 Biblia Paralela Job 26:2 Chinese Bible Job 26:2 French Bible Job 26:2 Catholic Bible OT Poetry: Job 26:2 How have you helped him who (Jb) |
