Line 4:
'''Eliphaz''' is called a Temanite (Job 4:1). He appears in the ''[[Book of Job]]'' in the [[Hebrew Bible]].
 
Eliphaz appears mild and modest; in his first reply to [[Job (biblical figure)|Job]]'s complaints, he argues that those who are truly good are never entirely forsaken by [[Divine Providence|Providence]], but that punishment may justly be inflicted for secret [[sin]]s. He denies that any man is innocent and censures Job for asserting his freedom from [[guilt]]. Eliphaz exhorts Job to [[confess]] any concealed iniquities to alleviate his punishment. His arguments are well supported but God declares at the end of the book that Eliphaz believed an erroneous view of divine dispensations. Job offers a sacrifice to God for Eliphaz's error.
