Job continues his statement of defense. He states that the only comfort that seems available is in the grave, where all of life is over and trials are at an end. His friend, Eliphaz, responds. He states that God does not subject Himself to the direction of men. He reminds Job that God does not take orders from anyone; and that what He states is true, is so.
Job replies to this statement with one of his own. He tells his friends that they are not helping at all! Their words of comfort are of no comfort to Job, for their directions are not applicable to his situation. Job's sense of the situation is that God has made him His target and that nothing in the earth makes sense anymore.
