The Role of Friends Friends can provide comfort or further distress. We should strive to be compassionate and understanding, rather than accusatory, when others are suffering.

To Eliphaz and his companions, the wild remonstrances of Job, his vehement expostulations and despairing outcries, are, one and all, nothing better than indications of a proud and rebellious spirit, that sets itself up against the Almighty, and openly contends with him. They view Job, after the speeches that he has made, as a declared rebel, and no longer regard it as incumbent upon them to use any "gentleness" in their reprimands. And lettest such words go out of thy mouth? It is remarkable that neither Eliphaz nor either of his friends ever points out what particular words of Job they object to and regard as impious, so as to give him the opportunity of defending, explaining, or retracting them. They take refuge in vague generalities, with which it is impossible to grapple. But this vagueness and want of logical accuracy is characteristic of the Oriental nations, who scarcely ever reason cogently or bring matters to a point. Job 15:13 confronts the danger of allowing suffering to sour the spirit and loosen the tongue against God. Eliphaz fears that Job’s inward rebellion (“turn your spirit against God”) is now audible in reckless accusations (“pour such words from your mouth”). Scripture affirms that trials test our hearts and reveal themselves through speech; therefore believers must guard both attitude and words, remaining reverent even while lamenting, trusting that God remains just, compassionate, and worthy of honor.
