Job 4:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 4:7
Eliphaz articulates the retribution theology that will dominate the friends' speeches: 'who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?' His rhetorical questions assume the innocent never suffer and the righteous never perish. The Hebrew uses zakhar (זָכַר, remember/recall) implying Eliphaz appeals to universal experience and wisdom tradition. This theology contains partial truth—sin does bring consequences—but fails as comprehensive explanation. Eliphaz cannot conceive of innocent suffering, making Job's situation incomprehensible except as evidence of hidden sin.
