Eliphaz reflects that he has seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly cursing their dwelling, suggesting that those who refuse wisdom and build their lives on unstable foundations ultimately discover the futility of their enterprise. The sudden curse upon the dwelling represents the reversal of fortune that overtakes the foolish, suggesting that such reversals are divinely orchestrated. Eliphaz implies that Job should not be surprised at sudden suffering if he has failed to build his life on a proper foundation.
