Gill's Notes on the Bible
But Job answered and said. Though Eliphaz thought his speech was unanswerable, being, as he and his friends judged, unquestionably true, and the fruit of strict, laborious, and diligent search and inquiry; or, "then Job answered" t, as the same particle is rendered, Job 4:1; after he had heard Eliphaz out; he waited with patience until he had finished his discourse, without giving him any interruption, though there were many things that were very provoking, particularly in Job 4:5; and when he had done, then he made his reply; and this was no other than what every man has a right unto, to answer for himself when any charge or accusation is brought against him; when his character is attacked, or his good name, which is better the precious ointment, is taken from him; and is what all reasonable men, and the laws of all civilized nations, allow of.
t ויען "tunc respondit", Drusius.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VI
Job answers, and vindicates himself; and shows that the great
affliction which he suffered was the cause of his complaining,
by which life was rendered burdensome to him, 1-13.
He complains that, whereas he expected consolation from his
friends, he had received nothing but the bitterest reproaches,
on the assumed ground that he must be a wicked man, else God
would not so grievously afflict him, 14-20.
He shows them that they knew nothing of his case, and that they
had no compassion, 21-23.
And then entreats them, if they can, to show him in what he has
offended, as he is ready to acknowledge and correct every
trespass, 24-30.
