“But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.”
Job 4:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 4:5
Eliphaz springs his trap: 'But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.' The Hebrew 'la'ah' (faint) and 'bahal' (troubled/dismayed) accuse Job of failing his own test. Eliphaz's logic is demonic: if Job were truly righteous, he would endure suffering without distress. This denies the legitimacy of lament and human emotion, contradicting Scripture's affirmation that even Jesus wept and was troubled (John 11:33-35).
