Job 5:22
22. famine thou shalt laugh--Not, in spite of destruction and famine, which is true (Ha 3:17, 18), though not the truth meant by Eliphaz, but because those calamities shall not come upon thee. A different Hebrew word from that in Job 5:20; there, famine in general; here, the languid state of those wanting proper nutriment [Barnes].
