The first of Job's three friends to speak — claimed suffering always means sin
open_in_newEliphaz the Temanite was the most eloquent and senior of Job's three friends (Job 4-5, 15, 22). He started somewhat gently but got increasingly harsh, eventually accusing Job of specific sins he never committed. His core argument: righteous people don't suffer, so Job must have done something wrong. God explicitly rebuked him at the end (Job 42:7).
