"The wicked man writhes in pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden from the tyrant." Eliphaz returns to the retributive schema: the wicked suffer visibly, and their lives are shortened. The verse asserts that even if the wicked prosper for a time, their fate is suffering and premature death. This is the core of the friends' theology.
