King James Bible
"Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:"
Eliphaz begins his argument by asserting that God finds even his heavenly servants unreliable or imperfect. The word 'servants' likely refers to celestial beings, establishing a hierarchy where even those closest to God fall short of absolute trustworthiness. This parallel statement intensifies the claim by suggesting God has found fault or error even among angels. Eliphaz uses this cosmic example to build toward his main point: if pure spiritual beings are flawed before God, how much more are mortal humans?
