Eliphaz Speaks: Job's Wickedness Is Great – Job 22
- Eliphaz continues to claim that Job is wicked, assuming that the righteous are always blessed and the wicked always receive God's judgment. He lists some (untrue) reasons for Job's situation: that he was greedy in business dealings, that he lacked charity, and that he lacked compassion toward people.
- Eliphaz calls on Job to repent and return to God, and implies that Job has been trusting in riches rather than God.
Job Replies: Where Is God? – Job 23 & 24
- Job claims he has not departed from God's ways. He says God has terrified him (with his power and sovereignty) and expresses his depression because of his losses and failure to understand God's purposes.
- Job continues to describe the ways of the wicked and points out that God prolongs their lives. He questions that if it is not so, who will call him a liar.
