“It is Eliphaz “the Temanite”

Thank you. I am afraid that there are vast swaths of the Bible with which I am insufficiently familiar. My fault, not that of the Church.

I really need to buckle down and tackle the Book of Job in a serious way.

I'm shockingly ignorant as well.

I find it useful to take 20 minutes or so before each day's Mass, and look up the lectionary readings, and then read the whole chapter (or if I have time, more than that) for context. Sometimes it sends me off flipping the pages for footnotes and cross-references and such. I'm continually amazed at what I find just 2 verses after the lectionary reading, or 2 verses before.
