Holy Scripture

Job 22:11

A church father on this verse
“Since [Eliphaz] had said that [Job] had sinned not mildly or, so to speak, with feeble strength but greatly and with much force, he now fervently invokes revenge against him, so that it may appear that the crime and the revenge are weighed for him at the same time. "And a sudden terror overwhelms you." Another version…”
