Job Ep. 18: Eliphaz’s Vision

Eliphaz presses his case by appealing not only to observation, but to a mysterious night vision that reinforces his belief that human suffering must be deserved. In this episode, we continue through Job chapter 4 as Eliphaz argues that no one can be more righteous than God—and that fragile humans should expect judgment rather than innocence. His words sound pious, but they carry troubling implications for Job and his children.
