In the context of the Book of Job, Job himself is experiencing profound suffering and is brought low by his circumstances. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God’s concern for the humble and the downtrodden, as seen in passages like <a href="/psalms/34-18.htm">Psalm 34:18</a>, which states that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Historically, the ancient Near Eastern culture often viewed suffering as a result of divine displeasure, yet the Book of Job challenges this notion by exploring the complexity of suffering and righteousness.<p><b>and you say, ‘Lift them up!’</b><br>This phrase suggests an active response to those who are suffering. It implies a call to action for believers to encourage and support those who are downtrodden. This aligns with the biblical principle of bearing one another's burdens, as seen in <a href="/galatians/6-2.htm">Galatians 6:2</a>. The imperative to lift others up reflects the character of God, who is described as a helper and sustainer of the weak throughout Scripture. It also echoes the teachings of Jesus, who emphasized love and service to others, particularly in the Sermon on the Mount.<p><b>then He will save the lowly.</b><br>This phrase highlights God's promise of deliverance for the humble and oppressed. The assurance of salvation for the lowly is a recurring theme in the Bible, seen in passages like <a href="/james/4-10.htm">James 4:10</a>, which states that God exalts those who humble themselves. Theologically, this reflects the concept of divine justice and mercy, where God acts on behalf of those who cannot help themselves. It also points to the ultimate salvation offered through Jesus Christ, who is the fulfillment of God's promise to save and redeem humanity. The lowly, in this context, can be seen as a type of Christ, who humbled Himself and was exalted by God, as described in <a href="/philippians/2-5.htm">Philippians 2:5-11</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/job.htm">Job</a></b><br>- A man of great faith and patience, who endured immense suffering and loss.
