You know...I don't really know what to think of this. Job is definitely hurting. But he's wrong when he says the grave is rest...though, maybe before Christ came people's souls WERE dead- 'til He came anyway. But, after Him now we either go to heaven or hell.
What Eliphaz says is shown to be wrong when you get to the end of Job and God says they were all wrong. But what confuses me is that he sounds like what Solomon and others say in Proverbs...and those are right, right?
I suppose it depends on the situation. And clearly in Job's he WAS blameless and things came to test him. But there are natural consequences for the wicked.
I guess these chapters have more questions than I have answers for...but we'll keep reading, and see what we find :)
