We are now in a pasuk in Iyov, (chapter 11, pasuk 18 ( also 19 &20) when Iyov’s friends are trying to give him hope when he is in his suffering…
וּבָטַחְתָּ כִּי יֵשׁ תִּקְוָה וְחָפַרְתָּ לָבֶטַח תִּשְׁכָּב:
You would be confident there would be hope, And you will (dig a hole) and lie down entrenched in security. (The Hebrew word for entrenched Hafarta means to dig a hole, like with a moat around you)
You're going to lie down with Bitachon
וְֽ֭רָבַצְתָּ וְאֵ֣ין מַחֲרִ֑יד וְחִלּ֖וּ פָנֶ֣יךָ רַבִּֽים׃
You will crouch with nothing to make you afraid, And many people will seek your favor.
His friend Tzofer is assuring Iyov that everything is going to turn around.
You'll return to your prior status, and you will be standing out among the great, to the point that people will come ask you for favors. You're going to be someone that we’ll need favors from. You can help us with whatever it may be. That's a big deal. It’s a sign of greatness, that people need you for pull and protection.
Those are the pesukim of Bitachon to Iyov. On the other hand, as it says in pasuk 20,
וְעֵינֵ֥י רְשָׁעִ֗ים תִּ֫כְלֶ֥ינָה וּ֭מָנוֹס אָבַ֣ד מִנְהֶ֑ם וְ֝תִקְוָתָ֗ם מַֽפַּֽח־נָֽפֶשׁ
The eyes of the wicked will look with longing, but their haven will be denied to them and their hope will become despair.
So Iyov is being told that everything can turn around with Bitachon. The Ralbag explains, what does it mean that You should be reliant and have hope? Don't be afraid. Sometimes when people lose something and they get it back again, they're afraid they might lose it again. But don't worry, you'll get it back and Hashem will watch over it for you. There’s nothing to be afraid of.
To the point that, you'll dig means you'll be in an open field without any fence around you and no protection. You'll lie in tranquility.
You'll feel protected. And you'll be so special, as we said before, that great people come to ask you for favors.
On the other hand, even though the wicked have success, don't think that they're having a good life. They're full of worry and dread their whole lives because they never know what's going to happen. And they have no place to escape when things go bad. They have no bitachon, and therefore their hope will not bring them anything.
And in the end, their hope would become despair. Their souls will burst from the worries and anxieties that they have.
So Iyov is being told by his friend,
Words of Chizuk.
Iyov is the example of the man that everything turned around for. He started off a wealthy man, and then in a few days everything turned around. But if we go all the way to the end of Iyov, to the final pasuk, all those words of his friends came true. It says as follows, in the last three or four pasukim…
There were not found any women as beautiful as the daughters of Iyov anywhere in the land. The father gave inheritance among their brothers.
After this Iyov lived 140 years. He saw his children and his children's children to four generations. Iyov died old and satiated with years.
That means everything turned around. He got double of everything.
As it said prior, Hashem blessed Iyov more than He blessed his beginnings. Everything that he had was doubled.
We know nothing that is like Yissurei Iyov, the trials and tribulations of Iyov, but in the end, everything turned around. And Rav Yosef Zundel chooses this pasuk of Iyov, possibly to tell us this lesson that it was Iyov’s bitachon that made things turn around.
Regarding the promise of the friend that people will come to you also is reported in the last chapter, in chapter 42,pasuk 11 it says that his money was doubled, His brothers and all sister-in-laws, former acquaintances came to break bread with him in his house. They recalled his morning and consoled him for all the misfortune that Hashem had brought upon him. And each of them gave him a sheep and each a gold ring.
The commentaries point out that it sounds like through his tough times, nobody was there, and only when he got his money back did everyone come running to him, which is a sad display of human nature.
But the bottom line is, as his friend told him, everything would turn around. And it did.
Have a wonderful day.
