Job 5:6

For evil does not come up from the dust, ¹  nor does trouble spring up from the ground,

De 32:27; 1Sa 6:9; Job 34:29; Ps 90:7; Isa 45:7; La 3:38; Ho 10:4; Am 3:6; Heb 12:15

¹ sn The previous discussion shows how trouble rises, namely, from the rebelliousness of the fool. Here Eliphaz simply summarizes the points made with this general principle – trouble does not come from outside man, nor does it come as a part of the natural order, but rather it comes from the evil nature of man.
