Eliphaz’s Assertion- The Innocent do not Suffer.
Having listened to Job’s lament, Eliphaz, one of Job’s three friends who had come to console him spoke and said, “If we try to commune with you, will you be grieved? [offended?]. But who can withhold himself from speaking? Behold thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. Thy words have upholds him that was falling; and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. But now it has come upon thee, and thou faintest; it touches thee and thou art troubled. Is not this thy fear, thy confidence they hope, and the uprightness of thy ways? Remember I pray thee, whoever perished being innocent? Or where were the righteous cut off? Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity and sow wickedness reap the same. By the blast of God they perish; and by the breath of his nostrils they are consumed. The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the strong lion are broken. The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the stout lions whelps are sustained abroad.”
