4:1–14:22 This section begins three rounds of speeches by each of Job’s three comforters, each with a response from Job (4:1–27:23). In this first round, Job’s friends exhort him to seek God so that he can again enjoy prosperity. 4:1-2 Eliphaz the Temanite (see study note on 2:11) was the most prominent and probably the oldest of Job’s friends; his speeches are longer and more ornate than the others. • who could keep from speaking out? Eliphaz mimicked the urgency of a prophetic revelation (4:12-16; see Jer 20:9; Amos 3:8).
