Job 5:8-27

Summary: Eliphaz gets to his main point: if Job would accept that he has wronged God and submit to punishment, God would then raise him back up with just as much protection as before.

Response: The problem here is that, though Eliphaz speaks the truth, he isn't correctly applying that truth to Job, much less doing so with any sympathy. At one point he tells him his kids will be numerous, after his adult children were snuffed out all at once. Like dude read the room!

Am I like this? Do I try to "spread God's truth" with callous disregard for my brother's humanity? Lord, try me in this, and help me to grow more into who You would have me be.
