욥기 4:7의 주석

destroyed Heb. נכחדו, disappeared and perished, like (Exod. 9:15), “and you would vanish (ותכחד) from the earth.”

Job's argument had been based on his claim that he had been unjustifiably victimized. Eliphaz challenges this. He maintains that no-one ever suffers without it being justified. Suffering is always warranted, for no-one is absolutely free of sin. However, whereas the suffering endured by the righteous is transient for he does not perish for ever, the proud and predatory are irrevocably and eternally condemned.
