Haydock's commentary
Father. From God all the rights of a father spring, Ephesians iii. 15. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "No indeed: but learn Job, answer not like fools." Protestants, "my desire is, (marginal note, my father) that Job may be tried unto the end, because of his answers for the wicked." (Haydock)
He has imitated their wicked discourses; let his chastisement deter others. (Calmet)
The sequel seems to intimate, that Eliphaz is here styled Father. (Menochius)
Haydock wrote amid the controversies of his day. The Church teaches that those born into communities separated from her cannot be charged with the sin of separation, and embraces them as brothers (CCC 818).
