Job 5:1–5, “Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn? For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.”
Eliphaz wanted to make Job understand that he was responsible for his own problems. He was quite sure that no one would suffer the way that Job was suffering if he was innocent. Hardship and strife were God’s ways of showing a person that they were wrong. Of course Eliphaz didn’t know the whole story, he didn’t know anything about Satan’s attempts to fool God with his manufactured lie or the fact that the Lord knew that Job trusted Him and would cling to Him in faith even though things were very bad for Job.
