Job 5:7

Yet man is born unto trouble Rather, but man. The true explanation of affliction is now given, as the false explanation was denied in Job 5:6. The words "man is born unto trouble" mean, it is his nature through his sin to bring trouble upon himself; evil rises up out of his heart as naturally as the sparks fly up out of the flame. Cf. the words of Christ, "Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts," and the appalling list which follows. Eliphaz is severe on human nature, but the broad generality of his doctrine is fitted to enable Job to find himself in his history and let himself be led back to a more devout demeanour. See the concluding remark to ch. 4.
