Contextual Overview
1 Job's Reply to Eliphaz Job said: 2 I have often heard this, and it offers no comfort. 3 So why don't you keep quiet? What's bothering you? 4 If I were in your place, it would be easy to criticize or to give advice. 5 But I would offer hope and comfort instead.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVI
Job replies to Eliphaz, and through him to all his friends,
who, instead of comforting him, had added to his misfortunes;
and shows that, had they been in his circumstances, he would
have treated them in a different manner, 1-5.
Enters into an affecting detail of his suffering, 6-16.
Consoles himself with the consciousness of his own innocence,
of which he takes God to witness, and patiently expects a
termination of all his sufferings by death. 17-22.
