Eliphaz continues by telling Job that no holy one will answer him, that resentment kills the foolish man, and that man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward. His counsel is to seek God: But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God, who does great things that can't be fathomed, marvelous things without number; who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields.
Eliphaz praises God for setting up on high those who are low and for frustrating the plans of the crafty. He takes the wise in their own craftiness. In the New Testament, 1 Corinthians 3:19 quotes this line to show that the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. Eliphaz then says, Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. For he wounds and binds up.
Eliphaz ends with promises: deliverance in six troubles, peace with the animals of the field, many offspring, and a full age. He closes, Behold, we have researched it. It is so. Hear it, and know it for your good. His words about God's power are often true, and discipline from God is real. But his diagnosis of Job is wrong. Job's suffering was not correction for sin, and in Job 42:7 God says the friends have not spoken of Him what is right.
