Eliphaz goes even further. Job’s words are not only foolish; they are also dangerous. They undermine true faith and religion. Eliphaz’s religion rests on the conviction that God gives to everyone what they deserve. Job, however, has challenged this conviction. (Interestingly, Eliphaz’s religion seems to go no further than serving God for the sake of rewards. This is what Satan had accused Job of.)
4 But you are doing away with the fear of God and hindering meditation before God.
