Although quick-witted, and quick to respond, Eliphaz loses his composure in chapter 22, in the third and final round of speeches, accusing Job of specific faults, "sins against justice and charity towards others": [11] oppressing widows and orphans, refusing bread to the hungry: a far cry from how he had originally described Job in his first address to him:
Job might think he has information that no one else has (two questions in verse 8b and 9); this is the real issue for Eliphaz (verse 10) who then appeals to the words of the sages (also in verse 18), similar to Bildad's appeal to tradition (Job 8:8–10). [13] Eliphaz suggests that Job should be satisfied with his current condition, rather than ...
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said, [16] "Eliphaz": from Hebrew: אֱלִיפָז, ’Ělīp̄āz, "El is pure gold" (alternatively, "My God is separate" or "My God is remote" [17]), is mentioned first among Job's visitors , and the first to respond to Job's words, so he is regarded as the oldest. [18]
In his last speech of the book (chapter 22), Eliphaz becomes more direct in his accusation of Job as a sinner, even further than the position of Bildad and Zophar, by confronting Job with a list of alleged offenses (verses 1–11) in contrast to God's knowledge and power (verses 12–20), so at the end Eliphaz urges Job to repent (verses 21–30).

God condemns Job's friends for their ignorance and lack of understanding. Job is restored to health, gaining double the riches he possessed before and having 7 sons and 3 daughters. Job is blessed once again and lives on another 140 years. People: Job - יהוה YHVH - Eliphaz - Bildad - Zophar - Jemima - Keziah - Keren-happuch
And my servant Job shall pray for you, for I will only accept him: for but his sake, I would have destroyed you, for ye have not spoken the truth against my servant Job. 9 So Eliphaz the Thaemanite, and Baldad the Sauchite, and Sophar the Minaean, went and did as the Lord commanded them: and he pardoned their sin for the sake of Job.
The three speeches of Bildad are contained in Job 8, [4] Job 18 [5] and Job 25. [6] In substance, Bildad largely echos what Eliphaz the Temanite had claimed. [7] Bildad's speech is charged with somewhat increased vehemence, compared to Eliphaz who spoke first, because Bildad found Job's words too angry and impious.
