“Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.”
Job 4:3 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 4:3
Eliphaz acknowledges Job's past ministry: 'Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.' The Hebrew 'yasar' (instructed/disciplined) and 'chazaq' (strengthened) indicate Job's former role as spiritual counselor. This makes the irony more painful—Job who strengthened others now cannot strengthen himself. Eliphaz will use this to imply hypocrisy, yet Scripture shows that those who minister to others may themselves need ministry (2 Corinthians 1:3-4).
