Job 14:18-15:5 – “But as a mountain erodes and crumbles and as a rock is
moved from its place, as water wears away stones and torrents wash away
the soil, so you destroy a person’s hope. You overpower them once for all, and
they are gone; you change their countenance and send them away. If their
children are honored, they do not know it; if their offspring are brought low,
they do not see it. They feel but the pain of their own bodies and mourn only
for themselves.” Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied: “Would a wise person
answer with empty notions or fill their belly with the hot east wind? Would
they argue with useless words, with speeches that have no value? But you even
undermine piety and hinder devotion to God. Your sin prompts your mouth; you
adopt the tongue of the crafty.
Isaiah
63:16 – But you are
our Father, though Abraham does not know us or Israel
acknowledge us; you, Lord, are our Father, our Redeemer from of old is your name.
Job 4:1-2 – Then Eliphaz the Temanite replied:
“If someone ventures a word with you, will you be impatient?
But who can keep from speaking?
Application:
- · Even if their human fathers abandon them, God will not.
- · Up to this point Eliphaz has been the most sympathetic of the three counselors, but now he has run out of patience with Job and denounces him more severely than before.
