Contextual Overview

¹⁷ Behold, blessed is the man whom God correcteth, therefore refuse not thou the chastening of the almightie: ¹⁸ For be maketh a wounde and he healeth: he smiteth, and his hande maketh whole againe. ¹⁹ He shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, & in the seuenth there shall no euil come to thee. ²⁰ In hunger he shall saue thee from death, and when it is warre, from the power of the sworde. ²¹ Thou shalt be hyd from the scourge of the tongue, & when destruction commeth thou shalt not neede to feare. ²² In destruction and dearth thou shalt be mery, and shalt not be afrayde of the beastes of the earth. ²³ For the stones of the land shalbe confederate with thee, and the beastes of the fielde shalbe at peace with thee. ²⁴ And thou shalt knowe that thy dwelling place shalbe in rest, and thou shalt visite thy habitation, & shalt not sinne. ²⁵ Thou shalt see also that thy seede shall be great, and thy posteritie as the grasse vpon the earth. ²⁶ Thou shalt come also to thy graue in a full age, like a corne sheafe cut downe in due season.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh,.... Not deride and despise them, and make a jest of them; for good men have a reverence and awe of the righteous judgments of God upon them, when they are in the world, Psalms 119:120; but the sense is, that such shall reckon themselves safe and secure amidst such calamities, provision being made for their protection and sustenance; and be cheerful and comfortable, putting their trust and confidence in the Lord, as Habakkuk was, in a time of great distress, when all the necessaries of life were cut off from the stall, the herds, the flocks, and the fields; Habakkuk 3:17; just as a man that is in a good harbour, or has a good house over his head, laughs at blustering storms and winds h, or thinks himself secure, and so is cheerful and pleasant amidst all the noise that is about him, see Habakkuk 1:10;

neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth; either, literally taken, beasts of prey, that wander about in the earth, noisome and pernicious ones; which are one of God's sore judgments which he threatens the disobedient with, and promises the obedient he will rid them of; and therefore they have no reason to be afraid of them, see Ezekiel 14:21; some think serpents are particularly designed, which creep upon the earth, and whose, food is the dust of the earth, with all other poisonous animals, between which and men there is an antipathy; and yet good men need not be afraid of these; see Mark 16:18; or figuratively, cruel and barbarous men, thieves and robbers, as Jarchi; or rather fierce and furious persecutors, and particularly the beasts of Rome, Pagan and Papal; though the literal sense is to be preferred; the Targum interprets this of the camp of Og, comparable to the beasts of the earth.

h "Ridebis ventos hoc munere teetus et imbres", Martial.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh - That is thou shalt be perfectly safe and happy. They shall not come upon thee; and when they approach with threatening aspect, thou shalt smile with conscious security. The word here rendered famine (כפן kâphân) is an unusual word, and differs from that occurring in Job 5:20, רעב râ‛âb. This word is derived from כפן kâphan - to languish, to pine from hunger and thirst. It then means the languid and feeble state which exists where there is a lack of proper nutriment. A sentiment similar to that which is here expressed occurs in Martial, iv. 19, 4. Ridebis ventos line munere tectus, et imbres. “Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.” Wild beasts in new countries are always objects of dread, and in the fastnesses and deserts of Arabia, they were especially so. They abounded there; and one of the highest images of happiness there would be, that there would be perfect safety from them. A similar promise occurs in Psalms 91:13 :

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder;

The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under foot.

And a promise similar to this was made by the Savior to his disciples: “They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them.” The sentiment of Eliphaz is, that they who put their trust in God would find protection, and have the consciousness that they were secure wherever they were.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 5:22. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh — This most forcibly expresses the strongest security, and confidence in that security. "In the desolation of Sihon, and in the famine of the desert, thou shalt laugh; and of the camps of Og, who is compared to a wild beast of the earth, thou shalt not be afraid." - Targum.
