Job 22:5–14, “Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite? For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing. Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry. But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it. Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.”
After fairly harmless introduction to his third speech, Eliphaz started to accuse Job with some intensity. He accused Job of being very sinful. He said that Job took a guarantee from people when they didn’t need to give him one, Job took the clothes away from someone who had no spare clothes. He wouldn’t give water to the thirsty or food to the hungry, Job had done nothing to help anyone in need and he deserved to be in pain for his wickedness. Nothing can be hidden from God and God will punish the wicked quickly. Of course, Eliphaz wasn’t expressing any eternal truth, just his own bigoted opinion.
