1First Actively, as Fear is taken for the Fear which Joh feared, that is, for his religion and worship, or the exercise of it, then the meaning is this, Dost thou think that God doth punish thee for thy goodness, or because thou art righteous? No, it is because thou art irreligious: Is not thine iniquity great, and thy sin infinite? As he speaks out in the next words, Doest thou think that God punishes thee for thy holiness? No, he can find sins enow to do it for. And Eliphaz might speak to such a sense (I conceive) because Job pleaded his integrity so much; as if he should say, Never think that God afflicts thee for thy holiness, or righteousness, but rather acknowledge thy sins and thy wickedness to be the cause of thy afflictions, Are not thine iniquities manifest?
