Job 5:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 5:4
Eliphaz describes the wicked's fate: 'His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.' The 'gate' was where legal judgments occurred in ancient cities. Eliphaz implies Job's children died because of Job's hidden sin—a particularly cruel accusation given Job's grief. This shows how false theology not only misdiagnoses suffering but adds guilt and shame to pain, whereas true gospel comfort separates suffering from automatic judgment.
