Job 5:8 KJV
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
Someone described the book of Job as an intense argument between Job and his friends. As is the case with most arguments, both parties were in the wrong in some respects. Also both parties were in the right in many respects.
We might picture this thusly; Eliphaz has come down pretty hard on Job in the preceding verses. Now, with a little of the adrenalin worked off, and wishing not to condemn Job but to encourage him to make some things right, Eliphaz softens his voice and begins to plead with Job.
Eliphaz is certainly in the right in verse 8. Regardless of the cause for Job's condition (which Job rightly maintained was not because of some sin he had committed) the best course of action would be to "seek unto God and unto God... commit my cause."
Whatever our circumstances this one truth will take us far; unto God commit our cause.
