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

That thou turnest thy spirit against God,.... Not against men, his friends only, but against God himself, being filled with wrath and indignation at him; showing the enmity of his heart unto him, and committing hostilities upon him, stretching out his hand, and strengthening himself against him, running upon him, on the thick bosses of his buckler, as after expressed:

and lettest [such] words go out of thy mouth? as in Job 9:22.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

That thou turnest thy spirit - That your mind is turned against God instead of acquiescing in his dealings. The views of Job he traces to pride and to overweening self-confidence, and perhaps not improperly.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 15:13. That thou turnest thy spirit against God — The ideas here seem to be taken from an archer, who turns his eye and his spirit-his desire-against the object which he wishes to hit; and then lets loose his arrow that it may attain the mark.
