Job 6:1–7:21 Job responds to Eliphaz’s words of “comfort.”

Job 6:8–9 Job expresses a hope for death at God’s hand, to end his suffering.

Job 6:14 Eliphaz has suggested that Job’s suffering may mean that he has been a fool (see 5:3–7). Job argues that a person such as Eliphaz who withholds kindness from a friend is himself acting unwisely (forsakes the fear of the Almighty).

Job 6:15 Job’s friends are treacherous as a torrent-bed, which can suddenly appear, providing water to a thirsty traveler, but may then just as quickly dry up.

Job 6:25–26 If upright words are used properly, they can reprove a person and save him from foolishness. However, Job is a despairing man, pouring out his complaint before God. His friends are wrong to assume that he needs to be corrected.

Job 6:28–30 For the first time, Job declares that he is innocent and deserving of vindication.
