Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 7. Remember, I pray thee ] Recollect, if thou canst, a single instance where God abandoned an innocent man, or suffered him to perish.
Didst thou ever hear of a case in which God abandoned a righteous man to destruction? Wert thou a righteous man, and innocent of all hidden crimes, would God abandon thee thus to the malice of Satan? or let loose the plagues of affliction and adversity against thee?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-11 - Eliphaz argues, 1. That good men were never thus ruined. But there is one event both to the righteous and to the wicked, Ec 9:2, both in lif and death; the great and certain difference is after death. Our wors mistakes are occasioned by drawing wrong views from undeniable truths 2. That wicked men were often thus ruined: for the proof of this Eliphaz vouches his own observation. We may see the same every day.
