Contextual Overview

¹ Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said, ² Should a wise man vtter vaine knowledge, and fill his belly with the East winde? ³ Should hee reason with vnprofitable talke? or with speeches wherewith he can doe no good? ⁴ Yea thou castest off feare, and restrainest prayer before God. ⁵ For thy mouth vttereth thine iniquitie, and thou choosest the tongue of the craftie. ⁶ Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea thine owne lippes testifie against thee. ⁷ Art thou the first man that was borne? or wast thou made before the hilles? ⁸ Hast thou heard the secret of God? and doest thou restraine wisedome to thy selfe? ⁹ What knowest thou that we know not? what vnderstandest thou, which is not in vs? ¹⁰ With vs are both the gray headed, and very aged men, much elder then thy 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.
