Study Lenses

The verse centers on "called", "name", "iemimah", "seconde", "keziah", and "third". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "called" and "name", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 13's "He had also seue sonnes and three..." into verse 15's "In all the lande were no women...", so "called" and "name" belong inside that flow. In Job context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "called" and "name" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
