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).

Job 4:12-5:7: Eliphaz tries to warn Job about complaining against God because only the ungodly resent the dealings of God and by their impatience bring down his wrath upon them.

[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.

A scroll of the Book of Job, in Hebrew. The Book of Job consists of a prose prologue and epilogue narrative framing poetic dialogues and monologues. [4] It is common to view the narrative frame as the original core of the book, enlarged later by the poetic dialogues and discourses, and sections of the book such as the Elihu speeches and the wisdom poem of chapter 28 as late insertions, but ...
