Tafsiran yang Mengutip untuk Yehezkiel 14:8

The companions cannot refute the second syllogism—that which relates to the prosperity of the wicked—by disputing the subject of the minor premise as Eliphaz had done in the First Act. For though we may suppose that a righteous person may have sinned in secret, it cannot be suggested that a wicked man is really a saint. Nor, after Job had so scornfully dismissed the principles of his philosophy, is there any point in returning to the attack led by Zophar on the major premise; no purpose is served in trying to convince someone on the basis of assumptions and principles that he repudiates. Consequently, they all now turn their attention to the predicate of the minor premise, namely, that the prosperity of the wicked is not genuine, though each chooses a different tack.
With regards to Job, they all now consider his case to be an example and a byword (Ezekiel 14:8) of that of a wicked man who had prospered. This had become clear to them from the great effort he had invested in his attempt to undermine the corner-stones of faith and the spirited rhetoric and carefully construed arguments he had employed. Evidently, he must have held these ideas for some time and so they now relate to him as being a wholly wicked person who rejects God (Psalms 10:13) .
