• 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)
• But even now, is not suspicion of others all too common?

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)
