Summary

Job 5:2 (ESV)

2 Surely vexation kills the fool, and jealousy slays the simple.

Eliphaz says that Job is a fool for trying to argue with God. If Job suffers, it must be because of his own doing. But by cursing the day of his birth, Job implied that it is God who has brought the suffering over him.
