“For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.”
"Because he has stretched out his hand against God and bids defiance to the Almighty." Eliphaz finally specifies the wicked person's essential sin: rebellion against God. The stretched-out hand and defiant attitude are presented as the root of retribution. This verse suggests that retribution is justified response to spiritual rebellion, not arbitrary divine cruelty.
