It doesn't say that...you missed what it was actually saying.
Job 5:7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
These are known as "givens" or facts. Sparks of a fire indeed do fly upward so he compares that a man will experience trouble or hardship in life as another fact of life. What is not being said is a child is born and sparks suddenly appear out of no where.[/quote\]
sparks (Strong's) from
<H8313> (saraph); a live
coal; by analogy
lightning; figurative an
arrow (as
flashing through the air); specifically
fever :- arrow, (burning) coal, burning heat, + spark, hot thunderbolt.
upward (Strong's) a primitive root; to
soar, i.e.
be lofty; figurative to
be haughty :- exalt, be haughty, be (make) high (-er), lift up, mount up, be proud, raise up great height, upward.
trouble (Strong's) G5999 from
<H5998> (`amal);
toil, i.e.
wearing effort; hence
worry, whether of body or mind :- grievance (-vousness), iniquity, labour, mischief, miserable (-sery), pain (-ful), perverseness, sorrow, toil, travail, trouble, wearisome, wickedness.
That's what it does say. Don't know what you mean by givens or facts. Yes, it is a fact because God said it. How you might want to interpret it is up to you I suppose.
