“Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.”
Job 4:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 4:8
Eliphaz's doctrine of retribution - 'they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same' - represents conventional wisdom that sin always produces visible consequences. While containing truth (Galatians 6:7), this theology cannot explain innocent suffering. The friends' failure is not false doctrine but misapplication.
