Eliphaz's False Accusations

Check out Eliphaz's false accusations against Job in today's reading (Job 22:4-11). The People's Bible author says Eliphaz's false line of reasoning is an argument from effect to cause. In other words, since Job was apparently being punished, here are the sins he must have been doing. Later Job will contradict the false accusations in 29:12-17. But what's really interesting is that Eliphaz himself earlier commended Job for his great compassion (see 4:3-6)!
