Job 4:1-21 Job 5:1-27
Eliphaz's main error in his speech to Job was that he did not talk to God; he merely talked about God. He also relied on mystic visions to learn about God instead of praying to God. In Job 5:8, Eliphaz claimed to seek God but, being a mere materialist, he only spoke about a material god who provides only material rewards and punishments. At best, Eliphaz revealed himself to be a mere Deist. Unlike Job, Eliphaz did not seek the deep, spiritual truths about God. Eliphaz expressed no interest in life after death or in a God who is Almighty Spirit, and who provides spiritual benefits.
