Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?

Verse 4 is found in chapter 22 of Job. Eliphaz moves partly beyond generalities and directly accuses Job of specific sins against the poor, widows, and needy. The literary problem is evident: the reader knows that these accusations do not correspond to the initial portrait of Job. The speech shows how a rigid theory can lead to inventing causes to explain inexplicable suffering.

Meinst du wegen deiner Gottesfurcht strafe er dich und gehe mit dir ins Gericht?
¿Castigarate acaso, O vendrá contigo a juicio porque te teme?
Est-ce par crainte de toi qu'il te châtie, Qu'il entre en jugement avec toi?
Ti castiga egli per paura che abbia di te? O viene egli teco a giudicio?
Ou te repreende, pelo temor que tem de ti, ou entra contigo em juízo?
他豈是因你敬畏的心就責備你, 審判你嗎?
