Furthermore, Job had been mistaken about the premonition he had always felt. As he had said:
I had a terrible premonition, and it has befallen me (Job 3:25).
He had attributed this to an intuition that had entered his soul from the decree of the stars. But, in fact, this fear was on account of his sins, for it is by reason of them that one rises or falls (Psalms 107:26). As Eliphaz says: Was not your immunity the purpose for your piety, ? and your expectations the motive for your integrity. And, as will be explained, Eliphaz also meant by this that Job should have been unsettled by his immunity. His integrity alone should have been his assurance.

Now this is exactly what had happened to Job, for he had admitted: I had a terrifying premonition and it has come to be. (Job 3:25) Moreover, this continuous fear, which haunts [the wicked person], is a portent of his own doom. For ultimately, he, his descendants and all that he has will be wiped out, as had happened to Job. This is the thrust of Eliphaz’s opinion.
