JOB 4 + 5
ELIPHAZ RESPONDS TO JOB
Eliphaz, Job’s friend, attempts to share his experience with Job but does not give encouraging advice. Eliphaz insinuates that Job brought all this trouble on himself because those who are righteous are rewarded and those who are wicked and sinful suffer.
Instructing his friend not to despise the discipline of God, Eliphaz blames Job’s actions for his misfortune. Eliphaz believes that God always operates with justice, meaning that Job somehow got what he deserved and needs to repent.
STUDY QUESTIONS
How did Eliphaz place blame on Job for his suffering? What does this say about how Eliphaz viewed God (Job 4:7, 5:6–7, 5:17)?
