From the first of three times that Eliphaz spoke while
visiting Job, when Job was in the midst of suffering:
Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof. In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men, Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake. Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up: It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying, Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker? Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly: How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth? They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it. Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.-Job 4:12-21***Job worshiped the Lord God. Before and after the sudden deaths of Job's 10 children, and the slaughter and fiery deaths of Job's servants, and the theft and fiery deaths of Job's animals, and the ailing condition of Job's body, Job was faithful to the Lord God. The words spoken by Job, and the words spoken by Job's friends Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar, and the words spoken by nearby listener Elihu, and the words that the Lord God spoke to Job are revealed in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible. Eliphaz was a Temanite. Teman was a major city in Edom. Some Temanites were descendants of Esau (Edom). Esau was the older fraternal twin brother of Jacob (Israel). Esau and Jacob were the only children born to Isaac and Rebekah. Isaac was the only child born to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai). Abraham and Sarah were born to Terah. Terah was the great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Arphaxad. Arphaxad was born to Shem. Shem was born to Noah the ark builder. Noah was the great-grandson of Enoch. Enoch was the great-great-great-grandson of Seth. Seth was born to Adam, the 1st man, and his wife Eve, the mother of all living. The Lord God created Adam. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Eve after taking a part out of Adam. Centuries after Job responded to the Lord God, and the Lord God gave Eliphaz a command, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-36:43, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17, 3:1-24, Job, Jeremiah 49:1-39, Ezekiel 25:13, Amos 1:1-15, Obadiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, James 5:1-20

Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight. How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?-Job 15:15-16
