Eliphaz

[ el-uh-faz ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

Eliphaz Laki had been someone worthy of emulation: a prominent civil servant, a regional administrator known as a saza chief.

Eliphaz Laki had disappeared, and his son was left with hope—stubborn, secret, maddening hope.

Eliphaz represents the correct Jewish view that everything is reward or punishment for merit and demerit.

When Job has ended his complaint, Eliphaz regards him with a disturbed and offended look.

Having caught at this idea, Eliphaz proceeds in a manner rather surprising.

This strain of argument, however, closes, Eliphaz having much in his mind which has not found expression and is of serious import.

Glancing at all possibilities which occur to him, Eliphaz leaves the afflicted man to accept that which happens to come home.
