“The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.”
Job 4:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 4:11
Eliphaz continues the lion metaphor: 'The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.' The imagery suggests that even if the powerful wicked seem secure, they ultimately perish. Their children (whelps) are scattered, losing their inheritance. Eliphaz subtly implies Job's loss of children proves he was a 'lion'—a powerful oppressor now justly judged. This is cruel theology that adds spiritual accusation to material suffering.
