Job 15 intro

In Job chapter 15, Eliphaz the Temanite begins his second speech to Job. Eliphaz believes that Job's suffering is a result of his own sin and wrongdoing. He states that wicked people suffer greatly and that their lives end in destruction. Eliphaz claims that Job is far from perfection and that only the pure are blameless. He believes that Job's arrogance and pride are the reasons for his suffering. He continues to urge Job to repent and accept God's judgement. Eliphaz believes that if Job repents, he will be forgiven and restored to his former prosperity.
