데만 사람 엘리바스가 욥에게 처음 말하는 장이다. 죄 없이 망한 자는 없다는 인과응보 논리를 펴고, 밤의 이상에서 들었다는 "인생이 어찌 하나님보다 의롭겠느냐"는 말을 전한다.

4Job · Contemporary English Version (2006)
1Eliphaz from Teman said:
2Please be patient and listen to what I have to say. *
3Remember how your words
4have guided and encouraged many in need.
5But now you feel discouraged when struck by trouble.
6You respect God and live right, so don't lose hope!
7No truly innocent person has ever died young.
8In my experience, only those who plant seeds of evil harvest trouble,
9and then they are swept away by the angry breath of God.
10They may roar and growl like powerful lions. But when God breaks their teeth,
11they starve, and their children are scattered.
12A secret was told to me in a faint whisper—
13I was overcome by sleep, but disturbed by dreams;
14I trembled with fear,
15and my hair stood on end, as a wind blew past my face.
16It stopped and stood still. Then a form appeared— a shapeless form. And from the silence, I heard a voice say,
17“No humans are innocent in the eyes of God their Creator.
18He finds fault with his servants and even with his angels.
19Humans are formed from clay and are fragile as moths, so what chance do you have?
20Born after daybreak, you die before nightfall and disappear forever.
21Your tent pegs are pulled up, and you leave this life, having gained no wisdom.”
