Eliphaz makes at least two errors in judgment in this passage. He hears Job’s desire to confront God (13:3) and quickly jumps to the conclusion that Job no longer respects the LORD (15:4). Job was lifting his voice to God proclaiming his ignorance and seeking the answer to why God has allowed such loss in his life. His wife and his friends offer him no support, but Job refuses to give up on God; there has got to be a good reason. Eliphaz also says that God does not trust those who fellowship with him (15:15). I see God always looking for the righteous and trusting them with his message and work. Beginning with Noah there have been a number of faithful people whom God has entrusted with the work of his growing Kingdom.
It took me about 12 minutes to read this passage.
