Eliphaz appeals to Job's piety and integrity as the ground of his hope and confidence, suggesting that these qualities should sustain him through suffering rather than be abandoned in despair. The reference to Job's fear of God and his upright ways reflects on the first chapter's characterization of Job, establishing that his former righteousness should now be the source of his endurance. Eliphaz assumes that piety should logically produce confidence and fortitude.
