Here Eliphaz continues with his theory that hidden sin is bringing its consequences to Job's life. Eliphaz insinuates that Job is a fool for not realizing and admitting that what Job is going through is from God as a result of hidden sin because "hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground". Eliphaz proposes that Job should "appeal to God" and lay before him his cause. He says he should "not despise the discipline of the Almighty" because he will wound but also will heal, God will ransom from famine and save from the sword in battle. In other words Eliphaz says that God will do all this for Job and give him more children making his "descendants like the grass of the earth" if he puts right that which is necessary in Job's life.
