Job 4

Eliphaz begins the first round of debate, speaking first to Job. He argues from traditional wisdom and personal experience, suggesting that the innocent do not perish; only those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same. Eliphaz gently accuses Job, suggesting that Job's immense suffering must be due to some hidden sin, prompting Job to search his heart and repent. Eliphaz also recounts a terrifying vision he had, where a spirit emphasized the impurity and faultiness of mortals before God.
