Song of Solomon 2:15
King James Version
7 Jun 2026
“Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.”
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.
