• The direct charge (vers. 6-11).Having laid down his erroneous principle with such positiveness, and having declared that Job’s sin was infinitely great (for God does not punish a pious man) Eliphaz opens up a most startling series of statements as to Job’s actual conduct. It is no longer implied sin in the call to repent-ance, or innuendoes in likening Job’s suffering to those of the wicked, but as outrageous accusations of actual sin as could be imagined. (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)

How cruel this is, and contrary to the plain direction, “In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” (“Job 3-31” by S. Ridout)
