Eliphaz promises that Job will have a covenant with the stones of the field and that the beasts of the field will be at peace with him, suggesting a restoration of harmonious relationship with the created order similar to the peace that Adam enjoyed before the fall. The covenant with stones and peace with beasts represent a return to paradisiacal conditions. This promise invites Job to imagine a future state of complete reconciliation.
