Thou hast sent widows Whose helpless state called for thy pity; away empty Either by denying them that relief that their poverty required, or that right which their cause deserved; or, by spoiling them of their goods, because thou knewest them to be unable to oppose thee, or to defend themselves. And the arms of the fatherless have been broken

Eliphaz began his list of Job’s evil deeds. Job did not really do any such things. Eliphaz had no evidence, so he was guessing. Many people today would say that such deeds are not evil. These people...

ELIPHAZ CHARGES JOB WITH WICKEDNESS...
JOB'S SIN EXPOSED BEFORE GOD (vv.1-8) Eliphaz considered that he was representing God in speaking, and exposing what he imagined were the sins of Job. He first asks a question that it is well worth...
Here is the claim that Job rejected the widows and crushed the orphans. This sin is condemned throughout the Old Testament (Exodus 22:22; Deut. Job 27:19; Jeremiah 7:9; Job 22

JOB—NOTE ON JOB 22:5 Eliphaz assumes that Job’s circumstances reveal significant EVIL in his life. He describes the likely ways that Job has sinned. ⇐
JOB—NOTE ON JOB 22:9 Eliphaz assumes that Job has mistreated WIDOWS and THE FATHERLESS. He speaks in terms similar to the warnings in the law (see Exod

EXPOSITION JOB 22:1 Eliphaz returns to the attack, but with observations that are at first strangely pointless and irrelevant, _e.g._ on the unprofitableness of man to God (verses l, 2), and on the s...
