Eliphaz asserts that wrath kills the foolish and that anger slays the one who is led astray, suggesting that emotional reactions to suffering only compound the damage and lead to further destruction. The implication is that Job's lament and questioning amount to a kind of wrath or foolishness that will only deepen his affliction. Eliphaz counsels emotional regulation and acceptance as the path to healing.
