[Is] not [this] thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
Job 4:6 — KJV
They fear. Evidently the fear of God. The clause may be translated, “Is not the fear [of God] your confidence?”
Uprightness. Or, “integrity,” “perfection.” The Hebrew word thus translated is from the same root as the one rendered “perfect” in ch. 1:1. To balance the verse this second line should be translated “[Is not] your hope the integrity of your ways?” Eliphaz refers to two of Job’s great virtues, his fear of God and his integrity. Are not these sufficient in the hour of trial?
