פירוש על איוב 23:1

The Fifteenth Speech - Job’s Reply to Eliphaz’s Third Speech

Elphaz's new approach had offered separate solutions to each of the issues being discussed.

1. To the suffering of a righteous person. That he had not worshiped with sincerity, for the sake of God alone, but had had other considerations in mind, such as the hope of reward and fear of punishment. Therefore, God refines him with suffering (Psalms 105:19), in order to humble him; to test him out; ultimately to benefit him (Deuteronomy 8:16) in the world to come.
