Eliphaz, speaking gently and profoundly, seeks to comfort Job with these words although he didn't have a clue as to what was really happening.
"Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off? Even as I have seen, Those who plow iniquity and sow trouble reap the same. By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of His anger they are consumed.
Now a word was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper of it.
Then I heard a voice saying: Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his Maker?" (Job 4)
A word spoken is past recalling
--John Clark
