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.
Quotation of the words of Eliphaz in proof of total depravity is a grave error.
"Be it so," said Eliphaz, with a gesture of weariness, and he started his machine again.
Eliphaz represents the correct Jewish view that everything is reward or punishment for merit and demerit.
Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar agree in the opinion that Job has done evil and is suffering for it.
Eliphaz therefore is dealing with a large truth, one never to be forgotten or disallowed.
