Reflection Questions

1. Which of Eliphaz’s six “mistakes” stuck out to you and why? 

2. How is Ephesians 5:15-21 helpful in light of Job 4-5, in understanding how to be prepared to offer biblically grounded encouragement and counseling to others? 

3. In what ways does Eliphaz rely on personal experiences rather than God’s Word? Do you find yourself guilty of that, too? How can we guard against that in our own thinking and counseling? 

4. How have Job 4-5 and Ephesians 5-6 reshaped the way you view Godly friendships?
