ELIPHAZ ACCUSES JOB OF IMPIETY...
ELIPHAZ CLAIMS JOB CONDEMNS HIMSELF (vv.1-6) This response of Eliphaz lacks the measure of self-restraint he had shown in his first address. He had first at least spoken with a measure of considerat...

Now at this point, Eliphaz, who was the first friend of Job's to speak, speaks for the second time. And he claims that he is older than Job, more experienced than Job, and thus Job ought to listen to...
