Contextual Overview

¹ Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded,² "Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge And fill himself with the east wind? ³ "Should he argue with useless talk, Or with words which are not profitable? ⁴ "Indeed, you do away with reverence And hinder meditation before God. ⁵ "For your guilt teaches your mouth, And you choose the language of the crafty. ⁶ "Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; And your own lips testify against you. ⁷ "Were you the first man to be born, Or were you brought forth before the hills? ⁸ "Do you hear the secret counsel of God, And limit wisdom to yourself? ⁹ "What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that we do not? ¹⁰ "Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, 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.
