Job 4

First he says good things about job, Yes...but later calls him hypocrite, seems like then he talks about Gods anger against those who do evil,

like he is calling job unrighteous, then he goes on to say a special being appeared to him, They were kind of mocking him n telling him God has death with him. this was his friend speaking the whole time thought right?

Eliphaz seems to be making the same reasoning as Galatians 6:7 ( "...for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap) when he says, "As I have observed, those who plough evil and those who sow trouble reap it." in verse 8. But we know that it wasn't something Job did wrong because God said it was without cause that all this happened (Job 2:3).
And yeah, towards the end, he starts relaying a vision he received

Eliphaz's has a simple thinking ..his calculation was 1+1= 2 , a good man always receives and wicked must receive bad ..like you said as you sow,so shall you reap.

He knew Job is a good and has been kind and helpful to people but dint understand why was he suffering , however somehow his words dint sound pleasant and somehow thinks that Job is responsible for his suffering . Eliphaz was suppose to sympathise but he sounded the other way
