Verse 8 is found in chapter 15 of Job. Eliphaz responds by accusing Job of speaking presumptuously. He states that the traditional knowledge of the ancients confirms human corruption. The problem is not that the speech denies human sinfulness, but that it uses it to automatically interpret Job’s individual suffering without demonstrating his supposed sin.
