“Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?”
Eliphaz calls upon Job to appeal to the holy ones and see if any of them will answer him, suggesting that human suffering is beyond the reach of divine intervention or angelic assistance. The question implies that no one in the celestial court will come to Job's aid, leaving him isolated in his suffering. This challenge to Job to appeal to heaven sets up the assertion that such appeals are futile.
