Job 22:6
King James Version
10 Jun 2026
“For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.”
חָבַל
To bind, to pledge, to destroy. Chabal. Job says his spirit is broken — chabal. The word carries the weight of something twisted and ruined. Yet even in ruin Job holds on. The God who binds can also unbind. The God who breaks can also restore.
