"Are the consolations of God too small for you, or the word that deals gently with you?" Eliphaz suggests that the friends' comfort and the gentle words they have offered should suffice. Job's rejection of their consolations is presented as ingratitude and spiritual arrogance. The verse implies that Job's demand for more—more pain relief, more divine explanation—is unreasonable.
