Job - 4:7 Meaning

“Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

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, Ec 9:2, 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.

“He that giveth unto the poor shall not lack: but he that hideth his eyes shall have many a curse.”
