For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

Verse 18 is found in chapter 5 of Job. Eliphaz interprets suffering as discipline that can lead to restoration. He describes God as one who wounds but also heals and ultimately promises well-being to the person who receives correction. The theological problem is applying this logic directly to Job: the narrative has already informed the reader that his suffering does not result from a moral fault requiring correction.
