Contextual Overview

¹ Eliphaz's Second Speech Eliphaz from Teman said: ² Job, if you had any sense, ³ you would stop spreading all of this hot air. ⁴ Your words are enough to make others turn from God and lead them to doubt. ⁵ And your sinful, scheming mind is the source of all you say. ⁶ I am not here as your judge; your own words are witnesses against you. ⁷ Were you the first human? Are you older than the hills? ⁸ Have you ever been present when God's council meets? Do you alone have wisdom? ⁹ Do you know and understand something we don't? ¹⁰ We have the benefit of wisdom 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.
