"Eliphaz: The Innocent Prosper" Job 4-5

Eliphaz is the first to respond to Job's lament that he had been born.  He thinks he understand the reason for Job's suffering and that Job needs to turn back to God because it is only the guilty who suffer.  He says some things that are true but much more that is in error not understanding the wonderful working of God Almighty in the lives of His children.  We make a mistake when we try to find some hidden sin in the lives of those who suffer.  God doesn't need our help.
