Eliphaz states that God catches the wise in their own craftiness and that the counsel of the twisted is brought to a quick end, suggesting that intelligence and cunning, when employed for selfish or wicked purposes, inevitably backfire. The circular punishment where the wise are caught by their own devices represents poetic justice. The assertion implies that any attempt by Job to hide or rationalize hidden sin will ultimately be exposed by God.
