Eliphaz recalls Job's earlier capacity to instruct others, to strengthen the weak, and to support those whose knees were failing, establishing Job's former role as a teacher and source of strength. This recollection serves implicitly to suggest that Job's current despair contradicts his own teachings about faith and resilience. The implication is that Job should now apply his own wisdom to his own situation, modeling the fortitude he has previously taught.
