Job 4:7 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? — Job 4:7
Source Coverage: Job 4:7-11
Eliphaz argues, 1. That good men were never thus ruined. But there is one event both to the righteous and to the wicked, , both in life and death; the great and certain difference is after death. Our worst mistakes are occasioned by drawing wrong views from undeniable truths. 2. That wicked men were often thus ruined: for the proof of this, Eliphaz vouches his own observation. We may see the same every day.
