Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 5:11

11. To set up on high those that be low ; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety .

These words contain either 1. a declaration of God's end in giving Rain, which is to enrich those who were poor, or mourning for the drought, by sending Rain, and making their Lands fruitful: Or rather 2. another example of God's great and wonderful works. And the Infinitive Verb is here put for the Indicative; He setteth up, &c. which is very frequent in the Hebrew, as Psal. 56. 13. Zech. 3. 4. & 12. 10. He giveth this instance to comfort and encourage Iob to seek to God, because he can raise him out of his greatest depths, and useth to raise others in the like condition.

Notwithstanding all the craft and power of their enemies.
