‏ Job 15:35

v. 35: “They conceive trouble and give birth to evil, and their womb prepares deceit” (Job 15:35 a). Eliphaz finishes by saying that all the wicked produce is trouble, evil, and lies. Their lives are empty and end in misery.

Eliphaz’s main point is that wickedness always leads to suffering and disaster. He wants Job to admit that his troubles must be because of sin. But in saying this, Eliphaz ignores the reality that sometimes good people suffer for reasons only God knows. His words remind us to be careful not to judge others quickly, because only God sees the whole truth.
