Contextual Overview

¹Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered [Job] and said,²"Should a wise man [such as you] utter such windy and vain knowledge [as we have just heard] And fill himself with the east wind [of withering, parching, and violent accusations]? ³"Should he rebuke and argue with useless talk? Or with words in which there is no benefit? ⁴"Indeed, you are doing away with fear, And you are diminishing meditation before God. ⁵"For your guilt teaches your mouth, And you choose [to speak] the language of the crafty and cunning. ⁶"Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; Yes, your own lips testify against you. ⁷"Were you the first man to be born [the original wise man], Or were you created before the hills? ⁸"Do you hear the secret counsel of God, And do you limit [the possession of] wisdom to yourself? ⁹"What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not equally clear to us? ¹⁰"Among us are both the gray-haired and the aged, Older than your father.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite,.... Or, who was of Teman, as the Targum, the first of Job's friends and comforters, the oldest of them, who first began the dispute with him; which was carried on by his two other companions, who had spoken in their turns; and now in course it fell to him to answer a second time, as he here does,

and said, as follows.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XV

Eliphaz charges Job with impiety in attempting to justify

himself, 1-13;

asserts the utter corruption and abominable state of man, 14-16;

and, from his own knowledge and the observations of the

ancients, shows the desolation to which the wicked are exposed,

and insinuates that Job has such calamities to dread, 17-35.
